GitHub

Connect a GitHub account, and your agent can work with your repositories, issues, and pull requests. It acts as that account, so it can only reach what the account can.

What the agent can do

Section titled “What the agent can do”

The GitHub tools proxy the GitHub API, so the agent can:

  • Repositories — create, list, and search.
  • Issues — create, comment, and update.
  • Pull requests — open, comment, and review.
  • Code — search and work with files in repositories it can reach.

GitHub works on every runtime.

Connect GitHub

Section titled “Connect GitHub”
  1. Open Connections in the dashboard, or an agent’s Connections tab.
  2. Select Add new connection, then GitHub.
  3. Sign in to GitHub and approve access.

See Connect an account for the full flow. The tools appear on each agent that can see the connection.

Use more than one account

Section titled “Use more than one account”

You can connect several accounts, such as a personal account and an organization bot. Run the flow again and sign in as the other account. The agent then names the account it wants for each action, so personal and organization work stay separate.

Pricing

Section titled “Pricing”

GitHub is free to connect. You only pay for what the agent uses, from your credit pool.
