About Connections
The Connections page links your GitHub account to ACTIVATE, enabling repository access on the platform.
Note
GitHub connections are available once a platform administrator has configured the platform's GitHub integration. If the Link GitHub option isn't available, contact your administrator.
Link Your GitHub Account
Navigate to your account settings (Username > Account). On the next page, click Connections.
On the GitHub card, click Link GitHub. A GitHub authorization window will open; follow the prompts to authorize the connection.
Once linked, the card shows Connected as @username, and a dialog box with the message GitHub account linked successfully will appear.
Install the GitHub App
After linking your account, install the GitHub App wherever you want to grant repository access:
- The Connected organizations section lists the GitHub organizations where the app is installed, along with each installation date. Click the plus icon to install the app on another organization.
- The Personal GitHub account section shows whether the app is installed on your personal account.
To manage an existing installation's repository access, open its Connected dropdown menu and click Configure in GitHub.
Disconnect Your GitHub Account
On the GitHub card, click the delete icon. A dialog box will appear with the message Are you sure you want to disconnect your GitHub account? You will need to re-link to access repositories.
Click Disconnect. A dialog box with the message GitHub account disconnected will appear.
