How ToKB- Ridge Sight

# Managing Your Repositories

Ridge Sight connects to your GitHub repositories through the Ridge Sight GitHub App. This article explains how to control which repositories appear in your dashboard and how to manage access.

## How Repository Access Works

Ridge Sight uses a GitHub App to access your repositories. This is a two-step process:

  1. - GitHub App installation — You install the Ridge Sight GitHub App on your GitHub account or organization and choose which repos the app can access.
  2. - Repository selection — From the Ridge Sight dashboard, you choose which of those accessible repos you want to track.

Think of it this way: the GitHub App installation controls what Ridge Sight is allowed to see, and the dashboard selection controls what Ridge Sight actually shows you.

## The Repository Sidebar

The left side of the dashboard displays your repository selector. Here you can:

  • - Browse all repositories the GitHub App has access to
  • - Select / deselect individual repositories by clicking them
  • - Select All / Deselect All to toggle all visible repos at once
  • - Refresh (↺ button) to re-fetch the latest repository list from GitHub

Selected repositories are highlighted and their open PRs appear in the main dashboard area.

## Adding New Repositories

If a repository doesn't appear in the sidebar, it means the GitHub App doesn't have access to it yet.

  1. - Click Manage Access in the repository sidebar.
  2. - This opens your GitHub App installation settings.
  3. - Add the missing repositories to the app's access list.
  4. - Return to Ridge Sight and click Refresh (↺) to load the updated list.

## Removing Repositories

To stop tracking a repository in Ridge Sight, simply deselect it in the sidebar. Its PRs will no longer appear in your dashboard.

To completely revoke Ridge Sight's access to a repository:

  1. - Go to your GitHub Settings → Applications → Ridge Sight.
  2. - Remove the repository from the app's access list.

## Repository Limits (Free Plan)

On the Free plan, you can select up to 3 repositories at a time. If you need to track more, you can:

  • - Deselect a repo and select a different one
  • - Upgrade to Premium for unlimited repository tracking

If you downgrade from Premium to Free and have more than 3 repos selected, the system will automatically keep your 3 most recently selected repositories active and deactivate the rest.

## Refreshing the Repository List

The repository list is cached for performance. If you've recently:

  • - Added new repositories to your GitHub account
  • - Changed which repos the GitHub App can access
  • - Transferred repository ownership

Click the Refresh button (↺) in the sidebar to fetch the latest list from GitHub.

## Organizations and Multiple Accounts

The Ridge Sight GitHub App can be installed on:

  • - Your personal GitHub account
  • - Any GitHub organization where you have admin access

If you belong to multiple organizations, you can install the app on each one. All accessible repositories from all installations will appear in the sidebar.
