GitHub Integration

GitHub Accounts​

When you log into Codiga with GitHub, you have to use our GitHub App to allow repositories to be shared with Codiga. Only the repositories you select can be used on Codiga.

Manage GitHub App menu entry

GitHub App​

You can install the GitHub App on individual and organization accounts.

  • If you install the GitHub App on an individual account, only you will have access to the results
  • If you install the GitHub App on an organization account, the organization will be mapped into a group on Codiga and all members of the organization have access to the projects.

Projects Management​

Adding or removing projects is done directly on Codiga. Only the projects you selected in the GitHub App can be used on Codiga.

Group Management​

GitHub users cannot create groups directly on Codiga. Instead, GitHub organization are mapped into groups. When logging on Codiga, the platform detects if any organization you belong to is on Codiga and automatically adds you to it if you belong to it.

You can also add more users on a Codiga group in the group preferences.

Automated Code Review​

GitHub accounts are automatically enrolled in automated code review: when a pull request is created, the engine compares the new code with the previous one and annotate the pull requests with the various violations, code duplicates and complex/long functions.

That way, code issues are automatically detected before pushing change. Automating code reviews also save significant developers time since it catches small errors before human reviewers do it.

Note: automated code reviews work only on GitHub App.

Permissions and Security​

Our engine can access only repositories you gave access to when you selected the list of repositories you want to get access to. For that reason, pull requests from other repositories cannot be processed since the GitHub app has not granted access to these repositories.

We is a design decision: we wanted to design Codiga with user privacy in mind.
