GitHub

Integrating GitHub with Escape's Inventory provides unprecedent Code-to-Cloud visibility by matching your Code Resolvers with your Cloud Resources, through API Discovery from Code and Automated Schema Generation. Follow these steps to integrate GitHub with Escape's Inventory.

Note: You must connect an organization GitHub account; a personal account is not supported.

Creating a GitHub Personal Access Token

  1. Navigate to GitHub Settings:

    • Go to your profile settings and select "Developer settings"

  2. Personal Access Tokens:

    • Select "Personal access tokens"
    • Click "Generate new token"

  3. Token Configuration:

    • Resource Owner: Select your organization (must be public)
    • Repository Owner: Grant access to all repositories
    • Repository Permissions: Set "read-only" for contents and metadata
    • Organization Permissions: Set "read-only" for members

  4. Generate and Copy Your Token:

    • Click "Generate token"
    • Copy the token immediately - it cannot be viewed again after leaving the page

This token enables Escape's Inventory to securely analyze your GitHub repositories while maintaining data privacy.
