Connect GitHub

Kohai has separate GitHub connections for app actions and coding work. Choose the one your task needs in Settings → Connectors.

Issues, comments, and repository information​

  1. Find GitHub under Apps and open its card.
  2. Choose Continue to connect GitHub and follow the sign-in steps in the new tab.
  3. Review the requested permissions on GitHub and complete the connection.
  4. Return to Kohai and check the connected account.

This connection lets agents use GitHub tools for your requests. Access depends on that account's permissions.

Coding work​

If GitHub (coding) is available, use that separate connection for repository coding runs. Follow its GitHub App installation flow and choose the repositories to grant access to. An Apps connection alone does not set up the coding connector.

Reviewing changes​

Merging or pushing code, changing branches or releases, and starting CI or deployments require individual approval. Other actions follow the agent's settings and applicable permissions; see When does Kohai ask for approval?.

If access stops working, check the relevant connection and repository permissions. See Manage connected apps.
