The Niteshift GitHub App grants Niteshift access to your repositories. Install it on your personal account or organization to enable task creation.

​
Installation

1

Start installation

During onboarding, click Install GitHub App. Or go to Settings → GitHub and click Add Installation.
2

Select account

Choose whether to install on your personal account or an organization you administer.

Select repositories

Grant access to All repositories or select specific repositories. You can change this later in GitHub settings.

Click Install. GitHub redirects you back to Niteshift with your repositories synced.

​
Personal token connection

If you don’t have admin access to install the GitHub App, connect using a personal access token instead.
1

Create a token

Go to GitHub Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens and create a new token with repo scope.
2

Add to Niteshift

In Niteshift, go to Settings → GitHub and click Connect with Token. Paste your token.

Select repositories

Niteshift syncs repositories you have access to. Enable the ones you want to use.
Personal tokens grant access based on your GitHub permissions. If you lose access to a repository, Niteshift loses access too.

​
Multiple installations

You can install the GitHub App on multiple accounts and organizations. Each installation appears in Settings → GitHub where you can:
  • Sync repositories manually
  • View installation status
  • Remove installations

​
Syncing repositories

Repositories sync automatically when you:
  • Install or modify the GitHub App
  • Visit the Niteshift home page
To force a sync, go to Settings → GitHub and click Sync next to the installation.
