GitHub

This guide walks through adding GitHub as a Source Control provider in DuploCloud, configuring credentials, creating a scope, and querying GitHub repositories through the AI agent.

---

Step 1 — Navigate to the Source Control Providers

Go to AI Admin → Providers → IT, then click the Source Control tab. This lists all source control providers connected to your account.

Step 2 — Add a New Provider

Click + Add. Fill in the provider details:

• Name — a name to identify this provider

• Type — select GitHub

• GitHub Organization Name — the hostname of your GitHub instance. For standard GitHub, this is github.com. If your organization uses a self-hosted GitHub Enterprise instance, enter your custom hostname instead (e.g. github.company.com)

Add Provider form

Click Create Provider.

Provider saved successfully

Step 3 — Add Credentials

The new provider opens on the Credentials tab. Click + Add to add a credential. Fill in:

• Name — a name for this credential set

• API Key — your GitHub Personal Access Token (starts with ghp_)

• Credential Fields:

  • Username — your GitHub username

Where to find these values: Create a Personal Access Token in GitHub under Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens. Select the repository scopes your agent needs — at minimum repo for private repositories, or public_repo for public only. The username is your GitHub handle shown in your profile URL (github.com/<username>).

Add Credential form

Click Create to save the credential.

Step 4 — Add a Scope

Switch to the Scope tab and click + Add. Fill in:

• Name — a label for this scope

• Credential — select the credential you just created

• Repository Names RegEx (optional) — a regex pattern to restrict which repositories the agent can access (e.g. ^duplocloud-.*)

• Branch Names RegEx (optional) — a regex pattern to restrict which branches the agent can access (e.g. ^main$)

Add Scope form

Click Create. The scope appears in the list.

Scope created successfully

Step 5 — Use GitHub in a Ticket

Go to AI DevOps → HelpDesk → Add Ticket. Select generic-agent as the agent and choose your GitHub scope from the scope dropdown.

Enter your request — for example, asking the agent to list your repositories. Click Create Ticket.

Ticket ready to submit

Step 6 — Agent Queries GitHub

The agent connects to GitHub using the scope credentials and retrieves the requested information.

The response lists your most recent repositories with details — name, visibility (public or private), and last updated date — along with an offer to take further action on any of them.
