# GitHub setup

> Install the Autter GitHub App, select repositories, and verify a pull request review.

Connect GitHub to receive Autter feedback in the pull request workflow.

## Before you begin

You need an Autter account and permission to install a GitHub App on the target account or organization.

## Connect GitHub

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign in to Autter">
    Open the [Autter platform](https://app.autter.dev) and sign in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the GitHub connection">
    Choose the GitHub connection in Autter. GitHub opens the App installation flow.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose an account or organization">
    Select the owner of the repositories you want Autter to review.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select repository access">
    Grant access to the repositories you want to evaluate. Start with a limited repository set when possible.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open or update a pull request">
    Use a connected repository and look for Autter feedback in the pull request.
  </Step>
</Steps>

</Frame>

## Verify the connection

Confirm that:

* the repository appears in the Autter platform
* the GitHub App has access to that repository
* a new or updated pull request starts an Autter review
* the review output appears in the pull request workflow

If no review appears, verify the App's repository access in GitHub and reconnect the repository in Autter if necessary.

## Add AI authorship

The source control integration and the Autter CLI are separate. Install the [Autter CLI](/cli/install) if you also want line-level AI authorship and coding-agent context.
