  2. Install the DXLens GitHub App

    Choose the organization and the repositories DXLens may read. You can change this later in GitHub under Settings, Applications.

    DXLens asks for read-only access to repository metadata, pull requests, contents, issues, checks, actions, deployments, organization members and email addresses. It never writes to your repositories.
