How do I connect Everdone to GitHub to run code reviews?

Short Answer: On the Run code review page choose a connection method (“Github App (Recommended)” or “Github OAuth”) and click “Connect GitHub” to authorize read-only access.

PreRequisites

1. Signed in to Everdone

2. Access to the GitHub account you want to connect

3. If installing “Github App (Recommended)” you may need organization owner or admin access.

Steps

1. Open the Run code review page and locate the “Connect to GitHub” box.
   Page shows “Run code review” header and connection options.

2. Choose a connection method: click “Github App (Recommended)” or “Github OAuth.”
   Selected option is highlighted and its description is visible (for example: “requires organization owner or admin access to install.” or “no admin rights needed.”).

3. Click the blue “Connect GitHub” button.
   GitHub authorization flow starts (GitHub sign-in/permission prompt).

4. Complete the GitHub authorization and grant read-only access.
   After authorizing you’ll be able to select repositories and branches (see “Choose what you want to review.”)

Troubleshooting

1. Can’t install “Github App (Recommended).”
   LikelyCause: You are not an organization owner/admin; the card text notes it “requires organization owner or admin access to install.”
   Action: Select “Github OAuth” instead (the card text: “no admin rights needed”) or ask an organization owner/admin to install the app.

2. Authorization popup doesn’t appear or is blocked.
   LikelyCause: Browser blocked pop-ups or redirects.
   Action: Allow pop-ups for this site, then click “Connect GitHub” again.

Note: Use “Github App (Recommended)” for teams when an admin can install it; use “Github OAuth” for personal access without admin rights.
