Tools Connect: GitHub

Allstacks collects data about your commits, pull requests, branches, and other related coding activities for a complete view of engineering efforts.

Allstacks service connection to GitHub is established via GitHub OAuth App.

GitHub

• Before starting, confirm that you are actively signed into GitHub with the account you wish to connect to Allstacks.

• Verify GitHub permissions for service account: 

  • The service user you create to establish the connection with Allstacks will need read access to the repos in GitHub as seen here: https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/managing-access-to-your-organizations-repositories/repository-permission-levels-for-an-organization  

  • For connection with the tools, you will need a user with admin credentials to create the OAuth connector initially, but after that, we can establish the connection using the service account with lower permissions.

• Note that selecting “ADD TOOL” will redirect you to GitHub starting the authorization process.

Open

• Once you are redirected to GitHub, select Read for all repos at org levels and confirm at individual repo level. 

  • Click “Grant” next to the organization. 

  • Sometimes you’ll see a request button if you are not the admin.

• On successful connection, you will see a list of resources you can toggle on and off the organization and repositories respectively. In the event this list is blank you may need to press “Refresh Resources”.
