GitHub App Setup

Install the PolyLever GitHub App on your account or organization, choose which repositories to enable, and sync them as dashboard projects.

Before GitHub opens

  1. 1

    Sign in to PolyLever

    Go to the login page and sign in with email, Google, or GitHub. You'll land on your home dashboard.

  2. 2

    Click Install GitHub App

    On your dashboard, click the Install GitHub App button. GitHub opens in a new tab with the PV-PolyLever install page.

    Confirm your account

    At the top, check that GitHub shows the right account or organization — for example, Install on your personal account.

  2. 4

    Choose which repositories

    Under for these repositories, pick All repositories or Only select repositories. Most people choose only the repos they want reviewed.

  3. 5

    Select your repositories

    Click Select repositories, search for your repo, and add it. You'll see each one listed below the dropdown.

  4. 6

    Review permissions

    PolyLever needs read access to your code and read/write access to checks, commit statuses, and pull requests so reviews can run on pushes.

  5. 7

    Click Install

    When everything looks right, click the green Install button. GitHub sends you back to PolyLever to finish setup.

After you click Install

  1. 8

    Return to your dashboard

    After installing, you'll be redirected back to PolyLever. Your connected repositories appear as projects on the home dashboard.

  2. 9

    Push code to get a review

    Push a commit to any connected repo. PolyLever automatically reviews the changes — open the project to read the results.
