GitHub
GitHub is the source-control and CI platform for code. Because an App Builder project is real, standard code that belongs to you, connecting GitHub lets you take that code to your own repository.
What it enables in ALIGN
Section titled “What it enables in ALIGN”Connecting your GitHub account lets ALIGN work with your own repositories on your behalf:
- Source control — push the source of an application you build to a GitHub repository you own, so it lives in your version history, not locked inside ALIGN.
- Actions — the connection carries the
workflowscope, so your repository’s GitHub Actions (CI/CD) can run on the code you push.
This reinforces a core promise of the App Builder: your code is standard, in open formats, and stays yours — you can read it, export it, and take it elsewhere.
How to connect
Section titled “How to connect”GitHub connects through OAuth — there is no key to copy.
- In ALIGN, go to Dashboard → Integrations and click Connect on the GitHub card.
- Authorize ALIGN in the GitHub window that opens (repository and workflow access).
- Your linked account then appears on the card, and GitHub is available from the App Builder.
Your credentials stay yours
Section titled “Your credentials stay yours”The GitHub authorization is stored on your ALIGN account and scoped to what it is for. It is never written into a saved app, an export, or anything you share.
