How to properly link GitHub repositories in App Platform
- Posted October 6, 2020
- DigitalOcean App PlatformGit
We are trying to deploy an app, but the github account link doesn’t work properly (at least not in a team/multi user environment).
The first user is able to link/install DigitalOcean into the organization (with all repository access), and is able to see the repositories when creating new components.
When a second user (from the same team and github organization tries to create a component, DO doesn’t seem to understand that the app already contains a link) - it asks to link the github account again, and since it`s already installed it gets redirected to the github settings page instead of showing the repository list.
It seems that the link is getting stored in a per-user basis?
Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I was being stupid. Turns out you need to have DigitalOcean installed in BOTH the organization and your own user. Trying to solve some permission stuff before I removed DigitalOcean from my GitHub user.
