Connecting to GitHub

Minder manages your GitHub organization and the repositories inside of your organization. To connect Minder to your GitHub organization:

  1. First, click Authorize. You'll be redirected to GitHub to approve and configure the installation of Minder's GitHub App.

  2. In GitHub, select where you want to install Minder.

    1. If you are a member of multiple GitHub organizations, you'll be asked where you want to install Minder. You can only select a single organization.

    2. Select whether Minder can see your entire organization, or only certain repositories.

      This setting does not control which repositories Minder is monitoring for your security policies, it only controls the repositories that Minder can see. As a result, we recommend that you choose "all repositories" and then select the repositories to manage within Minder.

    Minder requests write access to your repositories and entities within them. By default, Minder only scans (reads) your repositories, but if you turn on automatic remediation then Minder requires write access to perform the remediation steps.

  3. Click "Install & Authorize" to confirm installation. You will be redirected back to Minder.

After you have connected to GitHub, you will need to register repositories.
