GitHub Integration

Indent is quick and easy to install. It takes a few minutes and doesn't need access to your codebase, just read and write access to organization team membership.

What can I do with GitHub + Indent?

• Grant temporary admin or branch rule bypass privileges
• Request team membership via Slack (using /access command)
• Approve requests and set durations from Slack, web, or email
• Log who had which permissions, for how long, and why
• Auto-expire permissions and team membership, but provide fast turnaround for access renewal

For a full list of available integrations, view our Integrations page.

Prerequisites

• GitHub Organization
  • Must have Owner role on the organization
• GitHub Teams

Installation

1. Install GitHub integration

1. Go to Indent dashboard → GitHub integration page
2. Follow instructions for creating a GitHub access token (classic or fine-grained)
3. Enter GitHub org (e.g. acmeinc) and token (e.g. github_pat_123) into Indent
4. Click Install to complete the integration

2. Grant on-demand access to GitHub Teams

1. Once the GitHub Teams have been pulled into Indent, you can start granting access
2. Users will need to have the github/id label set on their profile
   • This can be edited on their user profile under the "Resources" tab
   • Or when they request, they will be prompted to OAuth into GitHub to link their username

That's it! 🎉
