Connect GitHub

Connect GitHub so the Coding Agent can open pull requests with SEO fixes, and so the Writer Agent can commit articles as markdown files. Thig uses a fine-grained personal access token scoped to the repository you choose.

Step 1: Create a fine-grained token

1. On GitHub, open Settings, Developer settings, Personal access tokens, Fine-grained tokens.
2. Click Generate new token.
3. Name it Thig and set an expiry.
4. Under Repository access, choose Only select repositories and pick your site's repository.
5. Under Repository permissions, set Contents to Read and write.
6. To let the Coding Agent open pull requests, also set Pull requests to Read and write.
7. Generate the token and copy it.

See GitHub's guide to managing personal access tokens.

Step 2: Connect in Thig

1. Open Account from the dock, or Settings, Integrations.
2. Find GitHub and click Connect.
3. Paste the token into Personal access token.
4. Click Connect. Thig checks the token.

Step 3: Pick a repository

1. After connecting, choose a Repository from the list.
2. Optionally set the Folder for articles. Articles go to content/posts by default.
3. Save.

How each agent uses GitHub

Troubleshooting

• Could not load repositories: the token has no repository access. Edit the token and add the repository.
• Pull request fails: add Pull requests read and write permission to the token.
• Token expired: create a new token and click Manage on the GitHub card to replace it.
