# Github ## GitHub + Multitudes Integration Benefits * Integrating with GitHub is a prerequisite for using Multitudes * Select GitHub teams/team members to get contributor data in Multitudes * See a range of insights include [DORA](https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/devops-sre/using-the-four-keys-to-measure-your-devops-performance) and [SPACE](https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3454124) metrics. ## How it works ### GitHub Data Multitudes pulls in code metadata from GitHub; our app does not ingest your codebase. This metadata includes information about pull requests – such as when they were created, who the author was, commits made on the pull request, number of lines changed, etc. and about comments – including comments written on pull requests and reviews submitted. This metadata informs Multitudes metrics across [Flow of Work](/metrics-and-definitions/process-metrics/flow-of-work.md), [Value Delivery](/metrics-and-definitions/process-metrics/value-delivery.md), [Quality of Work](/metrics-and-definitions/process-metrics/quality-of-work.md), [Wellbeing](/metrics-and-definitions/people-metrics/wellbeing.md) and [Collaboration](/metrics-and-definitions/people-metrics/collaboration.md). When you set up the GitHub installation, you can see the full list of permissions that Multitudes requests. ### Teams and people Multitudes also gets some data from teams about their structure, e.g., which teams people are on, their roles, and their levels. This is used to populate your [Multitudes teams](/configuration-and-setup/adding-users-and-teams.md) and associate data with contributors. You can enable [GitHub Teams Sync](/configuration-and-setup/adding-users-and-teams.md#automatically-adding-team-members-via-github-teams-sync) to automatically update your Multitudes contributors based on GitHub teams. ## Requirements **Required role:** [Organization Owner](https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/managing-peoples-access-to-your-organization-with-roles/roles-in-an-organization#about-organization-roles) **Notes:** You must have admin access to select repositories and Github teams/contributors. ## How to install Follow the GitHub installation steps when you onboard to Multitudes. When installing, you will select which users/teams and repositories to integrate with Multitudes. ### How to add additional repos 1. Check what existing repos are synced at the top of any deep-dive page, e.g.,
App header showing filters, with Repositories filter highlighted.
2. If you need additional repos, add them via our GitHub App – go to [Integrations](https://app.multitudes.co/teamSettings/integrations), click Configure, and follow the flow to GitHub.

3. The repos will sync for all data moving forward. To get 6 weeks of historic data, contact with a list of the repos you added and we’ll trigger a historic data pull. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
