Installing Augment for Slack

​

1. Install GitHub App

To enable Augment’s rich codebase-awareness, you will need to install the Augment GitHub App and grant access to the desired public or private repositories you want to use with Augment.

Organization owners can install GitHub Apps on their organization. Admins of repositories may also install GitHub Apps on their respective repositories. If you are not an owner or repository admin, a request will be sent to your organization owners on your behalf. See GitHub documentation for more details.

During the authorization process, you will be asked to grant access to the repositories you want to use with Augment. To get the best answer quality, we recommend only authorizing a single repository, as shown below. Only authorize those repositories you wish to be accessible to any user using Augment for Slack. You can return to the GitHub App configuration at any time to add or modify repositories.

2. Install Slack App

Once you have the GitHub App installed, you can install the Augment Slack App. To install the Slack App, you will need an Augment account and the correct permissions to install Slack Apps for your Slack workspace.
