Overview

In this quick guide you will learn how to install the GitLive app on your repository hosting service as an administrator.

Steps for authenticating

As an administrator, you are required to install the GitLive app on the organization or account level and grant it access to the repositories that you would like to use GitLive with.

Step 1

• Install the plugin as explained in the installation section{:class="internal-link"}.
• Open up a clone of the repository that you want to use GitLive with.

Step 2

• Sign in with your repository hosting service to authenticate yourself.

Step 4

• After successful installation on your repositories, you will also have the option to add an issue tracker to GitLive. You have the option to connect Jira or the issue tracker from your respective repository hosting service. In this case, since GitLive was set up on a Github organisation, the options are to select Github issues or Jira. If you choose not to connect an issue tracker, you can do this at a later stage through the GitLive settings menu in your IDE.

Step 5

• Once you have installed the GitLive app on your repository hosting service, you will see your team in the GitLive window. If they haven't installed GitLive yet, their names will be greyed out.
