GitHub

Connect Datawise to GitHub to enable Schema Guardian. Once connected, Datawise analyzes pull requests in your connected repos, detects breaking schema changes, and posts a detailed bot comment with downstream impact and mitigation guidance.

Prerequisites

• A GitHub account with admin access to the repositories you want to connect. Admin access is required to authorize the Datawise GitHub App.
• At least one repository that contains dbt model code or SQL files that reference warehouse schemas.

Connection Setup

Go to Connectors in the left navigation, click Add Connector, and select GitHub.

OAuth Authorization

Datawise connects to GitHub via OAuth. Clicking Connect redirects you to GitHub, where you authorize the Datawise GitHub App.
During authorization you can choose to install the app on:

• All repositories — Datawise can access any repo in your organization now and in the future.
• Selected repositories — Datawise only accesses the repos you explicitly choose. You can add more later from GitHub under Settings > Applications > Authorized GitHub Apps.

After authorizing, you're redirected back to Datawise. The connection is established automatically.
Selecting Repos
After authorization, select which repositories Schema Guardian should monitor. Repositories you choose here are the ones where Datawise posts PR bot comments.
