GitHub Integration

Endpoints AI integrates seamlessly with GitHub to ensure that your generated code is secure, accessible, and ready for development. From the moment you sign up, GitHub integration is enabled through OAuth, allowing Endpoints AI to manage repositories created on your behalf.

This page explains how GitHub integration works, the permissions we request, and why this setup is essential to providing you with a first-class development experience.

How GitHub Integration Works

When you sign up for Endpoints AI, we use GitHub OAuth to authenticate your account and grant our platform the necessary permissions to function effectively. Here’s what happens during the sign-up process:

1. GitHub OAuth Sign-Up:

   • GitHub is the only method of signing up for Endpoints AI. This ensures secure authentication and a seamless connection between your repositories and our platform.

2. Permissions Requested: During sign-up, Endpoints AI requests the following GitHub permissions:

   • user: Access your GitHub account details for authentication.
   • repo: Create and manage private repositories to store your generated code.
   • delete_repo: Clean up repositories that are no longer needed when projects are deleted.
   • admin:repo_hook: Add webhooks to automate future functionalities, such as CI/CD.
   • read:org: Ensure compatibility with GitHub Organizations if you work within an organizational account.
   • workflow: Enable advanced automation and CI/CD workflows.

Why These Permissions Are Necessary

We understand that the permissions we request might seem extensive. However, these are essential for Endpoints AI to deliver a seamless and secure experience. Here’s why:

1. Private Repositories for Your Code:

   • Once the code is generated, it’s stored in your private GitHub repositories.
   • Only you have access to these repositories, ensuring complete confidentiality and security.

2. Code Browsing Made Simple:

   • Browse your generated code directly within the Endpoints AI platform.
   • Eliminate the need to manually navigate your GitHub account to review your code.

3. Effortless Repository Cleanup:

   • When you no longer need a project, Endpoints AI handles repository deletion on your behalf, saving you time and effort.

4. Developer-First Experience:

   • Avoid the hassle of copying and pasting generated code or setting up projects manually.
   • With repositories pre-configured, you can dive straight into development.

5. Future-Proof Integration:

   • The requested permissions enable CI/CD workflows for future releases, automating deployment and testing pipelines directly from your repositories.

6. Unified Platform Experience:

   • Access everything—from code browsing to development to (future) deployment—all within the platform itself.
   • Future updates will include an in-platform code editor, making GitHub integration even more seamless and productive.

Your Trust, Our Priority

At Endpoints AI, we prioritize your security and ensure transparency in how we handle your data and repositories. Here’s what you need to know:

• Your Code, Your Control:

  • The generated code is always yours and is stored securely in your GitHub account.
  • We do not have access to your private repositories beyond the scope required for functionality.

• No Hidden Access:

  • Endpoints AI only interacts with the repositories it creates for your projects.
  • Other repositories in your GitHub account remain completely untouched.

• Safe Cleanup:

  • When you delete a project, Endpoints AI ensures a clean slate by removing its associated repository, so you don’t have to.
