The Git Repository page with GitHub chosen as the provider, and the Choose how Paradime connects step showing GitHub App, marked Recommended, and Deploy key (SSH)
Until now, a GitHub workspace could only clone its repository with an SSH deploy key that you added to the repository. The Paradime GitHub App already ran Turbo CI, on-merge runs, and Lineage Diff. Now it can also connect the repository itself: on the Git Repository page, pick GitHub App instead of Deploy key (SSH). Paradime then clones over HTTPS with a short-lived token, and there is no key to add or rotate.
  • HTTPS in every place Paradime clones. The Code IDE, Bolt runs, and DinoAI agents clone the repository over HTTPS. A Bolt run gets a token for that repository only when the run starts. dbt deps also gets git@github.com: packages over HTTPS. See Connect with the GitHub App.
  • Push as yourself. People who link their GitHub account push from the Code IDE with their own token, so GitHub shows them as the author of the push. If a push is refused, the notice has a link that starts the account link in one click. See Push from the Code IDE as yourself.
  • No GitHub Owner? Ask for one. If you aren’t an Owner of the GitHub organization, GitHub sends your request to the Owners. The page waits and connects when they approve, and gives you a message to send to your admin.
  • Switch an existing workspace. When an installation already covers a workspace’s repository, the page shows a Switch to the GitHub App banner. The repository stays the same and the deploy key stays on file, so Switch back to the deploy key takes one click.
  • More than one installation. A company can install the app on more than one GitHub organization. Settings > Integrations > GitHub has an App installations card where you can add or remove repositories and unlink an installation. See Manage app installations.
  • Connect from the API. The Workspace Management API has gitRepository and setGitRepository, which need an API key with the new Git repository admin capability.
The Git Repository page is now one view. It asks for your provider, then how Paradime connects, then the steps for that method. Change repository disconnects the workspace, so you can connect any repository with any method. See Update connected git repository. Shipped in Paradime v6.24.0.
