Manage your GitHub Repositories
How to connect an edge GitHub repository to your Tenki workspace and projects.
The connection between Tenki and your GitHub Organization is managed by the Tenki GitHub Application. From there, you define the level of access you grant, including which repositories Tenki can access.
This access is used to link repositories to your Tenki workspace:
- If you grant access to all repositories, Tenki will automatically have access to both existing repositories and any new ones created in the future.
- If you choose to limit access to a selected set of repositories, you can manage this directly from the GitHub UI, and any changes will be automatically reflected in your Tenki workspace and projects.
Repository access: All repositories
Everything is handled automatically by the application.
Any repository created, updated, or deleted in the GitHub Organization connected to your Tenki workspace is automatically reflected in the Organization tab. No manual action is required, everything stays in sync automatically.
Repository access: Selected repositories
When repository access is set to Selected repositories, the Tenki workspace can access only those specific repositories.
Any changes you make in GitHub: adding or removing repositories, theses changes are automatically applied to Tenki.
Update which repositories Tenki can access
Repository access is always managed from GitHub, and Tenki reflects whatever you configure there:
Under Repository access, choose All repositories or Only select repositories and adjust the selection.
Save. The change syncs to your Tenki workspace and projects automatically; no action is needed inside Tenki.
Frequently asked questions
Do I manage repository access in Tenki or in GitHub? In GitHub. The Tenki GitHub App is the source of truth, and your Tenki workspace mirrors it automatically.
If I add a new repository, do I have to connect it manually? Only if you're on Selected repositories: add it to the app's list in GitHub. On All repositories, new repos appear automatically.
Will removing a repository from Tenki affect my GitHub repo? No. Changing access only controls what Tenki can see; it never modifies or deletes your GitHub repositories.
