Connecting to GitHub for Your Organization

You can connect Tempo users to their GitHub accounts after you install the Tempo Time Tracking GitHub app for your organization. The app saves users time by automatically populating the Activity Feed in My Work with potential worklogs related to their GitHub pull requests.

For more information about the GitHub integration app and about day-to-day usage, see Tempo Time Tracking for GitHub.

When you’re connecting GitHub for your organization, you can choose which repositories the app can read. You can allow the app access to all repositories in your organization, or you can limit access to specific repositories.

Before You Begin

• You must have credentials for an organization owner in GitHub.

2. Select Apps in the Tempo sidebar.

3. On the GitHub integration tile, click Install.
   You are prompted to continue to GitHub to configure the connection. You may need to authenticate your account.

4. The Tempo Time Tracking GitHub App page opens. Click Install or Configure.
