GitHub Connection

In order to create an application, you need to connect your GitHub account to make87. This allows make87 to create a new repository in your GitHub organization and manage the application code there.

To make the connection as seamless as possible, we use a GitHub App. This app is installed in your GitHub organizations.

Connect GitHub

  1. Click on the Connect GitHub button in the application creation dialog (1). Connect GitHub button in make87 dashboard
  2. Select the GitHub organization you want to use. For individual users, this is usually the personal space (same as your GitHub username, e.g., johndoe). For enterprises, this is often the organization name (e.g., acme-inc). For new organizations, you see the name and an arrow icon (1). For already connected organizations, you see the name and the word "Configure" with an arrow icon (2). Select GitHub organization
  3. Select the repositories that make87 should have access to (1). This is important if you'd like to limit the ability to import existing repositories. Afterward, Click on the Install button to install the GitHub app in the selected organization (2). Install GitHub app
  4. You will be redirected back to make87, where you can see all the accessible repositories from the connected organization (1). As the last step, you need to select a scope for the connected organization's repositories inside make87 (2). This is important if you want just you to be able to import repositories into make87 Applications, or if you want other members of your organization to be able to do so as well. Select make87 organization

Note

You can repeat these steps to connect as many organizations as you'd like.
