Use a private GitHub repository

Connect GitHub read-only so the director can read a private repository and plan the film from the code.

If the product is a repository rather than a live website, the director can read it through the uscale GitHub App, read-only.

Connect GitHub

Prompt
Connect GitHub and read <owner/repository>. Tell me what the product does and which screens a video should show.
  1. Send the prompt. Under the director's reply, press Connect GitHub (read-only).

The director's reply with the Connect GitHub (read-only) button.
  1. GitHub asks which repositories uscale may read. Pick only the ones the film is about.
  2. You come back to the project, and the director says which repositories it can read.

What uscale can and cannot do

  • It can read code and files in the repositories you picked.
  • It cannot change anything: no commits, no issues, no settings.
  • You can remove access any time from your GitHub settings (Applications).

What happens next

The director reads the repository, tells you what the product does, and proposes what to film: often a run of the app itself, or a launch film built from the README and the code.

Try it on your own product. Your first video is free.
