Connect your AI agent to GitHub
GitHub is a code hosting platform for version control and collaboration, offering Git-based repository management, issue tracking, and continuous integration features
Set it up in Melso
- 1In Melso, open Settings → Agent Apps and hit Connect on GitHub.
- 2Finish the OAUTH2 sign-in in the window that opens. Melso stores the connection, not your credentials.
- 3Open your agent, go to its Agent Apps tab, and allow GitHub.
- 4Give the agent a task. It calls GitHub itself when the work needs it.
What GitHub gives your agent
The tools, permissions, and events GitHub exposes — the same ones your agent can use once the app is authorized.
What you sign in with
GitHub connects with OAUTH2.
- Client id
- Client secret
Permissions
Tools GitHub exposes
Abort Repository Migration
Tool to abort a repository migration that is queued or in progress. Use when you need to cancel an ongoing migration operation.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a PENDING repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Add app access restrictions
Adds GitHub Apps to the list of apps allowed to push to a protected branch. The branch must already have protection rules with restrictions enabled. This endpoint only works for organization repositories, not personal repositories. Apps must be installed on the repository with 'contents' write permissions.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a GitHub user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add assignees to an issue
Adds assignees to a GitHub issue. This action only adds users - it does not remove existing assignees. Changes are silently ignored if the authenticated user lacks push access to the repository.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's GitHub account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Add field to user project
Tool to add a custom field to a user-owned GitHub Projects V2 project. Use when you need to add fields like status, priority, or custom data to organize project items.
Add item to user project
Tool to add an issue or pull request to a user-owned GitHub project. Use when you need to add existing repository items to a project board.
Events your agent can react to
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Use GitHub from the agent you already run
Melso runs the agent. You decide which of your authorized apps it may reach.
