Connect GitHub

Automaintainer needs GitHub access to read your repositories and open pull requests on your behalf.

Connect

  1. Sign in to the panel.
  2. Go to Account → Connect GitHub and authorise the app.
  3. AM stores a scoped token used only to clone repos and open PRs.

What the token is used for

  • Cloning the repo to a worker for each run.
  • Pushing the run's branch.
  • Opening (and, on Max, merging) pull requests.

The token is masked in all run/verify output — it is never printed in logs. See Security & data.

PRs that didn't open automatically

If a run pushed commits but the PR didn't open (e.g. a token scope issue), the work isn't lost — AM stores the branch and the computed PR title/body so you can recover the PR with one click.
