How it works

Connecting GitHub

How to connect your account

  1. Open Settings → Connectors inside the tAI app.
  2. Click Connect next to GitHub.
  3. Sign in with your GitHub account, if you are not already.
  4. Review the permissions on GitHub's own consent screen.
  5. Approve.

This step grants tAI general access to your GitHub account. It does not attach a repo to any conversation by itself.

Attaching a repo to a conversation

  1. In the message composer, click the + button, then Connectors, then GitHub.
  2. Search for and select the repo to work with.
  3. Review the warning shown before confirming.

The repo is then staged as context for your next message. Only one repo can be active per conversation; picking a different one replaces whichever was attached before.

Facts

  • Once a repo is attached, tAI clones a working copy of it into that conversation's own sandbox, and edits files there with its normal file tools rather than one API call per file.
  • Very large files and repos over the file-count cap are not included in the clone. github_read_file and github_search_code still reach anything the clone left out. See Limitations.
  • The account-level connection is separate from tAI's own sign-in. Disconnecting GitHub does not sign you out of tAI.

Disconnecting

  1. Open Settings → Connectors.
  2. Find GitHub and click Disconnect.

Commits and pull requests already pushed stay in your repo exactly as they are. Disconnecting does not undo or delete them.
