IntegrationBuild and watch sites

GitHub

Connect GitHub and every website in 1DB shows the repository behind it and when its code last changed, so you can tell which of hundreds of sites are maintained and which have gone quiet.

  • Read-only token
  • Repos matched to sites

How it works

  1. 1

    Make a read-only token

    1DB opens GitHub’s token form for you. Set the resource owner to the account or organization that owns your repos and give it access to all repositories. No extra permissions are needed.

  2. 2

    Paste it into Connections

    The token is encrypted before it’s stored. Only its last characters are shown again, so you can tell tokens apart.

  3. 3

    Repos are matched to sites

    1DB looks through the repositories the token can see and links each one to the website it deploys, with the date of its latest change.

Good to know

1DB never pushes code with it
The connection token is read-only. It lists repositories and nothing else.
New sites
When you add a site that isn’t live yet and choose to deploy it, 1DB creates its GitHub repo with the build prompt as the README and ships the first version to Vercel.
Organization tokens
A token for a GitHub organization may need an organization admin to approve it before it can see the repos.
