# Connect GitHub

Connect GitHub as the company with the GitHub App, or as a person with a fine-grained personal access token.

On **Apps**, search for GitHub and choose **Add** or **Connect**. The question is **Connect GitHub**. Pick one of the two.

## As the company

**As the company** keeps working when people leave. An organization owner installs the GitHub App and picks the repositories. Choose **Install the GitHub App**. The account is marked **GitHub App**.

## As a person

**As a person** stops working when you leave Studio or are removed. It uses your own fine-grained token. The account is marked **Personal token**.

- The field is **Fine-grained personal access token**.
- **Make a token on GitHub** opens GitHub so you can create one. Limit it to the repositories you want and to the permissions the panel lists under **Permissions it needs**.
- Paste the token only in that field. It must start with `github_pat_`. Otherwise the page says **Paste a token that starts with github_pat_.**
- Choose **Connect**. The token is kept encrypted and is never shown again. Do not paste it into Ask Studio.

If a choice is not available, the page says why. If an install could not be finished, start again from **Apps**.
