GitHub sign-in versus repository integration

GitHub sign-in verifies identity. Repository integration requests access to development events. They use different permission scopes even with the same account.

· 1 min read

How to apply it

Use GitHub on the Taskending sign-in screen to authenticate. Link it to an existing account through personal connected-account preferences. Connect a company repository separately through authorized Git settings.

A concrete example

A team member may sign in with GitHub without being allowed to manage company Git integration. An administrator may see an existing company repository connection without linking their personal sign-in provider. The screens describe different scopes.

What to watch for

Successful sign-in does not automatically share private repositories. Read permissions in the context of the operation. Do not change company roles merely to make connection labels match.

How to check the outcome

Verify identity on the personal screen and repository/project mapping on the company screen. Sign-out/sign-in and webhook delivery are separate tests.

How to connect a GitHub repository to Taskending

Signing in with GitHub and connecting a project repository are separate actions. Repository access is authorized separately to associate code events with work.

Use issue keys in Git branch names

An issue key connects a code change with its reason. Consistent use in branch names makes context easier to find.
