Setting Up the GitHub Integration

Connecting your GitHub account to AurInfer takes just 2 minutes. Follow this step-by-step guide to generate a token, connect your account, and link your repositories.

Step 1: Generate a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT)

  1. Log in to your GitHub account and open GitHub Settings → Developer Settings → Personal access tokens.
  2. Click Generate new token (classic) (or Fine-grained token).
  3. Enter a descriptive token name, such as AurInfer Coder.
  4. Select an expiration (e.g. 90 days, or Custom).
  5. Check the following permission scopes:
    • repo (Full control of private repositories — gives read and write access to code, commits, branches, and PRs).
    • (Optional) workflow (If you want the AI to update GitHub Actions workflow files).
  6. Click Generate token at the bottom and copy your token string (starts with ghp_).

  2. Click + Connect GitHub Account.
  3. Enter an Account Label (e.g. Personal GitHub or Work Account).
  4. Paste your token into the Personal Access Token field.
  5. Click Verify & Connect Account. AurInfer will validate your token with GitHub and display your profile username and avatar.

Step 3: Link Repositories to Your Character

  1. Once your account is connected, open GitHub → Coding Studio or GitHub → Settings.
  2. Click the repository dropdown selector at the top and select + Add Repository.
  3. Search and select the repository you want this AI character to work on.
  4. Choose the default branch (usually main or master).
  5. Click Link Repository.

​
Managing Connected Accounts

You can connect multiple GitHub accounts (such as a personal account and an organization account):
  • Health Status: Each account displays its current status (Active, Invalid, or Expired).
  • Token Re-Validation: If your token expires or you update its permissions on GitHub, click Re-validate in the Accounts tab to refresh the token without breaking linked repositories.
  • Disconnecting: You can unlink individual repositories or disconnect an account at any time with one click.
