Connecting to GitHub

Inspect repositories, code, issues and pull requests through a read-only GitHub App.

What you can do

Read repositories, code, issues, pull requests, commits and available check information. The connector cannot push code, merge a pull request or create an issue.

Connect

Choose GitHub, install or select the OpenTag GitHub App, choose the repositories, and complete GitHub authorisation. A personal installation requires its owner; an organisation installation requires an active organisation admin. Start at Integrations. Connecting an app covers the shared steps.

Access and limits

Only repositories granted to the installation are available. Check-related reads may need the installation to accept the Checks read permission. Reconnect preserves the same GitHub account identity.

See How connections work for personal, team and document-sharing choices.
