When you install StagingPro in your tenant, it creates a separate repository and separate branches; does not use your existing Git repository. When you add Git users in the ‘Connect GitHub’ tab, it gets associated with the separate repository associated with StagingPro.
Code commits to the respective StagingPro branch, will show up in the History & Rollback > Code Deployment tab
