Link your GitHub account so Cake Agents can interact with GitHub on your behalf.

​
What This Enables

After linking, Cake can use your GitHub identity within the permissions granted by the application and the GitHub App. This is what enables workflows such as:
  • opening pull requests
  • pushing commits
  • working with GitHub-backed repos and actions in sessions
  1. In the top right of Cake Agents, click your name → “User settings”.
  2. Open the Git tab, then under GitHub click “Link GitHub Account”.
Optionally you can override the default author identity for git commits, see Set Git Author Info.

​
Troubleshooting

  • If GitHub linking is unavailable, your administrator may not have finished the environment GitHub setup.
  • If Cake cannot push or open PRs for you, reconnect GitHub.
  • If your GitHub link stops working later, refresh or reconnect it from settings.
