Install GitHub App

Start installing the Unkey GitHub App for your workspace. Returns a GitHub App install URL: open it in a browser to install the app and grant repository access. After installation GitHub returns to Unkey, which binds the installation to your workspace and lands you in the workspace settings.

Installation is workspace-wide and takes no parameters. Once installed, link repositories to individual apps with the git field on apps.createApp and apps.updateApp.

Required Permissions

Your root key must have the following permission:

  • workspace.*.install_github
post/v2/github.installApp

Response

Install URL created. Open the returned url to install the GitHub App and finish binding it to your workspace.
