What this helps you do

Authorize an installation and keep hosted access separate from local repository content.

Find it in GitGlow

Open Settings and account, then GitHub Integration.

Before you start

GitHub features require GitGlow Pro and an authorized GitHub App installation.

Steps

  1. Start GitHub sign-in from Settings.
  2. Choose an authorized account installation and repository.
  3. Open GitHub Inbox and optionally connect an existing local clone.

Expected result

GitHub context becomes available only for authorized repositories; local paths remain a separate boundary.

Controls

Recovery

If the workflow cannot continue

Expired or removed authorization returns a reconnect state without deleting local registrations.
