Connect GitHub

With GitHub connected, the agent can read and work with the issues, pull requests, reviews and discussions of the repositories you choose.

Admins only

GitHub works with Nouter’s app: you don’t need to load anything. Each person sees only the repositories of the organizations where that app is installed; to add an organization, install it from Organization → Git providers (Connect GitHub to your organization). If your company prefers its own app, load it in Organization → Connectors with Own app… (Managing connectors).

Connect your account

1. In the sidebar, go to Customize → Connectors and open Discover.
2. Find GitHub and tap the +.
3. Sign in to GitHub and authorize Nouter’s app. If you already authorized it before, the window closes on its own.
4. Back in nouter, GitHub shows in Yours. When you add it to a project, you pick the repository, an issue or a pull request.

What it can do

• Read: looking at issues, pull requests, reviews and discussions happens right away.
• Write: commenting, opening or closing an issue, opening, reviewing or merging a pull request and pushing changes waits for your approval (Why it asks for your approval).

The permissions you have in the GitHub organization apply. To disconnect or change what the agent sees, see Disconnect an account.

If your GitHub account disappeared

When your company changes the app GitHub connects with, the accounts that were connected stop working and disappear on their own from Yours. Connect GitHub again with the steps above.
