To enable Qodo Context Engine to index your repositories, you’ll need to create and configure a GitHub App.
These steps must be completed by a GitHub organization administrator.

​
1. GitHub App setup

1

Go to your GitHub Organization Settings

  • Click your profile picture on the top right, then choose Your Organizations.
  • Select your organization then go to Settings.
2

Navigate to GitHub Apps

  • In the left sidebar, click Developer settings → GitHub Apps
  • Click New GitHub App.
3

Configure a new GitHub App

Fill in the following details:
  • GitHub App name: Qodo RAG Indexer
  • Homepage URL: https://qodo.ai
  • Webhook: leave unchecked
  • Permissions (Read-only):
    • Actions: Read-only
    • Checks: Read-only
    • Metadata: Read-only
    • Contents: Read-only
    • Discussions: Read-only
    • Issues: Read-only

4

Click Create GitHub App

Save the generated App ID

​
2. Install GitHub App

1

Generate a private key and store it somewhere safe.

2

Go to the GitHub App you've setup before, and click Install App.

3

Choose the relevant organization.

4

When prompted to select repositories:

  • Select only the repositories that should be indexed
  • Do not choose “All repositories”
5

Click Install.

Note the installation ID from the URL.

For example, in https://github.com/organizations/YOUR_ORG/settings/installations/2, the installation ID is 2.

​
3. Send relevant information to Qodo

After the setup, share the following credentials with the Qodo team: 
[github_app]
private_key="""\
... private key goes here...
PRIVATE_KEY
"""
app_id = ""
installation_id = ""

​
4. (Optional) Set a custom certificate bundle

If your self-hosted Git server uses a custom CA SSL certificate, share your ca-certificate.pem file with the Qodo team.
