+'@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-github': patch
+---
+
+Fix GitHub `repository` event support.
+
+- `$.repository.organization` is only provided for `push` events. Switched to `$.organization.login` instead.
+- `$.repository.url` is not always returning the expected and required value. Use `$.repository.html_url` instead.
