Connect Codemod to your GitHub repositories to enable automated code transformations across your codebase.

​
Why integrate GitHub?

Integrating Codemod with GitHub allows you to apply codemods directly to your repositories and create pull requests with automated code changes.

​
Set up the integration

1

Navigate to add organization

Sign in to Codemod. Click on team switcher and click on “Add Organization”Screenshot of how you can add organization in Codemod platform
2

Connect GitHub

Click the “Connect GitHub” button to begin the integration process.Screenshot of how you connect Github in Codemod platform
3

Install the GitHub App

You’ll be redirected to GitHub where you can:
  1. Select the GitHub account (personal or organization) where you want to install the Codemod app
  2. Choose which repositories to grant access to (all repositories or select specific ones)
  3. Review the permissions requested by the app
After approving the installation on GitHub, you’ll be redirected back to Codemod where you can confirm the integration is active.Screenshot of how you connect Github in Codemod platform

​
Using the GitHub integration

Once connected, you can:
  • Select connected repositories when running codemods
  • Automatically create pull requests with your code transformations
  • Configure which repositories to target for specific codemods

​
Managing Permissions

You can modify repository access at any time:
  1. Go to your GitHub account settings
  2. Navigate to Applications → Installed GitHub Apps
  3. Find Codemod and click Configure
  4. Update repository access as needed

​
Required permissions

Codemod requires the following GitHub permissions: Read access to:
  • Repository metadata
  • Repository code
  • Commit statuses
Read and Write access to:
  • Code (to create branches and commits)
  • Pull requests (to create and update PRs)
These permissions allow Codemod to read your code, create branches with transformations, and open pull requests for review.

​
Managing team members

Add team members to your organization to collaborate on migrations and control access to Campaigns and Insights.
If your organization uses SAML SSO, users are provisioned automatically on first login (JIT) and access is controlled through your IdP — you do not need to invite them manually. Use the steps below to manage roles for users who already exist, or to invite users when SSO is not in use.
1

Navigate to Organization Settings

Go to Organization Settings → Members in the Codemod app.
2

Invite team members

Click Invite Members and enter the email addresses of team members you want to add.
3

Assign roles

Assign one of the following roles to each team member:
  • Admin: Full access to organization settings and features
  • Member: Can create and manage Campaigns, view Insights
  • Viewer: Read-only access to Campaigns and Insights

​
Security considerations

  • We recommend enabling branch protections on your main branches to ensure changes are reviewed before merging
  • Codemod can only access repositories you explicitly grant during the installation process
  • You can revoke access at any time through your GitHub settings
  • All code transformations are submitted as pull requests for your review
