# GitHub

### Overview

The GitHub integration connects nexos.ai with your GitHub account so you can search for and reference repositories, issues, pull requests, and other GitHub content directly in your workspace. It helps you summarize changes, review context, and answer questions using the same source your team works in every day.

### Setting up the integration (organization admin)

1. Open **Settings**.
2. Go to **Organization** → **Integrations**.
3. Find **GitHub** in the list.
4. Set the integration to **Active** (enabled).

After it’s enabled here, team members can connect their own GitHub accounts.
{% endhint %}

### Connecting your account&#x20;

1. Open **Settings** (select your email/profile at the bottom of the left sidebar, then **Settings**).
2. Select **My Integrations**.
3. Find **GitHub** and select **Connect**.

5. Review the access request screen and select **Authorize** (or **Allow**) to approve.
6. Return to nexos.ai. GitHub should now show as connected in **My Integrations**.

### Use GitHub in Chat (turn it on for a conversation)

1. Open **Chat** (or an Agent chat).
2. Select the **Tools** icon.
3. Turn **GitHub** **on** to use it in that conversation.

### Use GitHub in Agents (turn it on for an agent)

1. Open **Agents** and select the agent you want to update.
2. Select the **Studio** icon (top-right), then open **Settings**.
3. Scroll to **Integrations** and turn **GitHub** **on**.
4. **Save** your changes, then test the agent by asking it to pull context (for example, “Summarize PR #123” or “List the open issues related to X”).

**Alternative (quick method)**\
You can also tell the agent in plain language to add the GitHub integration (for example, “Add the GitHub integration for this agent”), and it will enable GitHub for itself automatically so you can continue without leaving the conversation.
