Installing the Matillion Data Productivity Cloud app in GitHub
Editions
This feature is for customers on our Enterprise edition only. Visit Matillion pricing to learn more about each edition.
Read Prerequisites for connecting a GitHub repository to the Data Productivity Cloud before installing the app.
How to install the app
- Log in to GitHub.
- Navigate to the Matillion for GitHub app page.
- Make sure you are about to install the app in your company's organization account and not your personal GitHub account, and then click Install.
- Select All repositories or Only select repositories.
- If you select All repositories, you can choose any current or new repos in your GitHub organization when you create a new project in the Data Productivity Cloud.
- If you select Only select repositories, choose the repository that you created for the sole purpose of developing your Designer pipelines.
Note
We recommend that you choose Only select repositories to allow access only to repositories that you intend to use with the Data Productivity Cloud. If you select this option and then create new repositories in GitHub, you'll need to grant access to these new repositories if you want to connect them to the Data Productivity Cloud. To do this, visit https://github.com/organizations/<your-org-name>/settings/installations (replacing "your-org-name" with your organization name) and click Configure. From this page, you can view the list of repositories that the Matillion GitHub app has access to. If no repositories are selected, create a repository in that organization first, and then create a project in the Data Productivity Cloud.
Once the Matillion Data Productivity Cloud app is installed in your organization's GitHub account, you can create your project in Designer and connect your project to the GitHub repository.
One-time installation
You only need to install the Matillion Data Productivity Cloud app in your GitHub organization account once. After this, whenever you create a new project in the Data Productivity Cloud, you can connect to any repositories that you grant the Data Productivity Cloud access to.
If you wish to revoke or change Designer's access to your repositories, go to https://github.com/organizations/<your-org-name>/settings/installations (change <your-org-name to the organization in your GitHub URL) and click Configure.
