What Earnie Asks For

Earnie asks for read-only access, scoped to the repositories you pick, and it tells you why it needs each permission before you approve anything.

​
How the Connection Is Made

  1. Authorise Earnie to see which organisations you belong to. A short code is shown, enter it on GitHub in the window that opens.
  2. Choose the organisation that will own the connection.
  3. Earnie creates a private GitHub App owned by that organisation.
  4. Install the app and choose which repositories it may read.
Not an owner of the organisation? Only an owner can install the app. Earnie will create a single-use hand-off link you can send to one. They complete the two steps on GitHub without needing an Earnie account, and your setup continues automatically once they’re done.

​
Managing the Connection

You can add more organisations, change which repositories are shared, or disconnect entirely from Settings → Integrations at any time.
Disconnecting removes Earnie’s access and stops future scans. The findings and decisions you’ve already recorded are kept.

​
What’s Next

Once a repository is connected, importing it kicks off your first scan automatically. The next step is watching that scan run through each stage and reading what it found.
