Docfork

--- title: GitHub description: Connect GitHub to index and search private repository documentation. --- Connect GitHub in the Integrations dashboard to index and search documentation from your private repositories. Your agent can then use that documentation via [Cabinets](/core/cabinets) and `query_docs`. ## Integrations page Go to [app.docfork.com/integrations](https://app.docfork.com/integrations) to connect GitHub. The page shows your current GitHub connection and lets you add or remove integrations. ## Connecting GitHub You can connect GitHub in two ways: - **GitHub App** — install the Docfork app on your organization or personal account. Recommended for org-wide access and automatic repository selection. Repository access and purpose is to clone our code and index documentation. Permissions the Docfork GitHub App needs: | Permission | Access | Purpose | | ---------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------- | | Contents | Read | Clone repository and index documentation | - **Personal Access Token (PAT)** — create a fine-grained PAT with `Contents: Read` on the repositories you want to index. Use when you need more control over scope or when the GitHub App is not available. PATs are stored encrypted in [Google Secret Manager](https://cloud.google.com/security/products/secret-manager). ## After connecting Once GitHub is connected: 1. Index private repositories via [libraries](/getting-started/private-repositories) and link them to your integration 2. Add those libraries to [Cabinets](/core/cabinets) to further scope your agent 3. Your agent receives docs from both the public catalogue and your private libraries in your workspace
