# GitHub connection

## Sign-in and repository access are separate

GitHub sign-in confirms who you are. It does not grant Form Relay access to a
repository. You choose repository access later by installing the Form Relay
GitHub App.

## Connect an account

1. Open Integrations, then GitHub.
2. Click Connect GitHub.
3. Choose a personal account or organization.
4. Grant access to all repositories or only the repositories you want.
5. Return to Form Relay and choose the repository in an automation.

Form Relay stores the installation id and revokes the temporary GitHub user
token after setup. Automation runs create a short-lived installation token only
when work is due.

## Change or remove access

Use GitHub's installation settings to add or remove repositories. If the app is
suspended, removed, or loses access to an automation's repository, Form Relay
disables the affected automation instead of retrying with stale access.
