Your organization

GitHub

GitHub connects in three places: the organization (once, by the owner, so cloud agents can read code), each topic (which repository it is about, and what to post there), and you (your own GitHub conversation). There are no tokens to create or paste.

Connect the organization — owner, once

  1. Open the organization

    Account menu → Organization → the Cloud agents card.
  2. Connect GitHub App

    Sign in with GitHub. If the LatentForce GitHub App isn’t installed on your GitHub account or organization yet, GitHub asks you to install it and choose which repositories it can see. If you aren’t an owner on the GitHub side, GitHub sends the request to its owners and the card shows Waiting for approval.
  3. Tick the allowed repositories

    Under Allowed repositories, tick the ones agents may use. Each tick saves immediately. An agent can only reach what is ticked here — the most common thing to miss.
  • No token is stored in the workspace. Access comes from the installed GitHub App and is renewed automatically.
  • Members see which repositories are allowed but can’t change the list.
  • Disconnect unlinks GitHub from this organization only, and keeps the ticked list for when you reconnect.
  • To give the App access to more repositories, change the installation on GitHub, then tick them here.

A topic’s repository

Tag a repository when you create a topic, or later from the topic’s ⋯ → GitHub… (the topic’s creator or an organization owner). Tagging one adds a read-only cloud agent for it to the topic. A branch can use the repository of the topic it came from.

In the same window, any member chooses what GitHub posts into the discussion:

  • Pull requests — opened, merged, and changes that need attention.
  • Main branch failures — when the build on the default branch breaks, and when it’s fixed.
  • Production deploys — when a production deploy fails, and when it recovers.

The topic’s GitHub tab shows its pull requests — needs attention, open, merged and closed — and the build status. The topic manager can read the same activity when you ask it about the code’s state.

Your GitHub conversation

Sidebar → Apps → GitHub → Connect GitHub (you don’t pick any repositories). From then on you get your own GitHub news there — review requests, assignments, mentions, and reviews, comments, failing checks and merges on your pull requests — and you can ask about it: “What needs my review?”, “Why did my last build fail?”, “What did I do yesterday?”.

It is read-only and covers only your own GitHub work. You can ask up to 250 questions a day. Disconnect is at the bottom.

Cloud agents and repositories
Which repository an agent reads is set on the agent itself; it can only be one of the allowed ones. See Cloud agents.
