## Step 1 — Sign In with GitHub

  1. - Visit the Ridge Sight login page.
  2. - Click Sign in with GitHub.
  3. - You'll be redirected to GitHub to authorize the Ridge Sight app. This grants Ridge Sight read access to your repositories and pull requests.
  4. - After authorization, you'll be redirected back to the Ridge Sight dashboard.

Note: Ridge Sight uses GitHub OAuth 2.0. Your GitHub password is never shared with Ridge Sight.

## Step 2 — Install the GitHub App

After signing in for the first time, you need to install the Ridge Sight GitHub App on your GitHub account or organization. This tells GitHub which repositories Ridge Sight is allowed to access.

  1. - On the dashboard, click Manage Access in the repository sidebar.
  2. - You'll be taken to GitHub's app installation page.
  3. - Choose which account or organization to install on.
  4. - Select All repositories or pick specific ones.
  5. - Click Install.

You can change which repositories the app can access at any time from your GitHub settings.

## Step 3 — Select Repositories to Track

Once the GitHub App is installed, your repositories will appear in the sidebar on the left side of the dashboard.

  1. - Browse the list of available repositories.
  2. - Click a repository to select it — selected repositories are highlighted.
  3. - Use Select All / Deselect All to quickly toggle all visible repos.
  4. - Click the Refresh button (↺) to re-fetch the latest repository list from GitHub.

Only open pull requests from your selected repositories will appear in the main dashboard.

Free plan: You can track up to 3 repositories. Upgrade to Premium for unlimited repos.

## Step 4 — View Your Pull Requests

After selecting at least one repository, the dashboard will load all open pull requests from those repos. Each PR card shows:

  • - Title and PR number
  • - Author (with avatar)
  • - Repository name
  • - When it was created and last updated
  • - Draft status — Draft PRs are labeled
  • - CI status — Green (passing), red (failing), yellow (pending)
  • - Review status — Approved, changes requested, review pending
  • - Conflict status — Whether the PR has merge conflicts
  • - Labels — Any GitHub labels applied to the PR

Click any PR card to expand it and see the full description and additional details.
