When connecting your Tulip application connection to a Git branch with auto push turned on, any changes to the branch must be done only via Tulip.
Application configuration updates to this branch are handled solely through Tulip fetches and deployments.
For changes to files like CSVs, READMEs, CI files, or similar, you can submit a pull request through the Version Control section on the Application Connection Settings page in the Tulip UI.
Go to Application Connection settings → Version control → Select pull request to merge.
Select the pull request.
Click merge.
If you have Tulip deployment automations, they are most likely triggered for feature branch names following the pattern tulip/env/<envId>/deployment/<deploymentId>.
To avoid unintentionally triggering deployment-related automations, please make sure to use a different naming convention for your feature branch.
