The GitHub Cloud integration connects data from your GitHub account to your Sola workspace, making it easy to search and find answers to your specific use cases.
The GitHub integration gives you a complete view of your GitHub organization, allowing you to monitor and analyze GitHub security posture and potential threats.
With the GitHub integration, you can:
Gain full visibility into repository access and permissions.
Monitor security policies, including branch protection and organization settings.
Track and manage Dependabot vulnerability alerts.
Ensure security best practices for your GitHub organization.
Your data can only be retrieved, never modified.
Once connected, your data is securely stored, and access is restricted to retrieving configurations and metadata only. Authentication methods ensure secure delegation of permissions while maintaining data integrity.
Go to > click New data source > select GitHub Cloud.
The Sola wizard will take you through the steps.
To connect GitHub Cloud, you’ll need a GitHub account with organization owner permissions or admin access to all repositories in your GitHub organization.
Recommended for secure, production use. This method leverages a GitHub App to grant Sola temporary, permissioned access to your GitHub resources, at either the repository or organization level, based on your choice. It minimizes risks associated with personal tokens and long-term credentials by enforcing strict, scoped access.
GitHub App (Recommended) Install Sola’s GitHub App to securely and easily grant access to your organization’s GitHub data.
Custom GitHub App Create and install your own GitHub App for full control over permissions and configuration (see how-to guide below)
Not sure which method to choose? We recommend starting with the GitHub App for the fastest and most reliable setup.
