Let your app's users connect their own GitHub account is Lovable's Integrations feature: The GitHub API connector now supports per-user access .

The GitHub API connector now supports per-user access . Each person who uses your published app connects their own GitHub account, so the app reads and writes only the repositories, issues, and pull requests that user can reach, acting on their behalf. This is different from a standard GitHub API connection, where you connect one account once and every visitor shares it, and from GitHub Git sync, which syncs your project's code to a repository. As the builder, you create one GitHub OAuth app for your workspace and add it from Connectors → GitHub API → Add connection → App user connector . Each user then signs in with their own GitHub account the first time they use it.

Example workflows

Starting points built from this record, not transcripts of a run. Each prompt is written the way it should be sent, as one paragraph, and each is worth editing before you send it.

  1. Stand it up from scratch

    You have read the record and want Let your app's users connect their own GitHub account working in a real project rather than a sandbox.

    Set up Let your app's users connect their own GitHub account in this project — the GitHub API connector now supports per-user access. Walk it end to end, tell me exactly what you changed, and flag anything I have to switch on myself before it works.

    Expected outcome

    A working setup, a plain list of what changed, and a short list of anything left for you to switch on. Check that list before assuming it is done.

  2. Decide whether it fits your project

    Worth five minutes before you wire anything in. Let your app's users connect their own GitHub account sits in Integrations, and not every project needs it.

    I am building the project in this workspace. Given that Let your app's users connect their own GitHub account the GitHub API connector now supports per-user access, tell me honestly whether it fits what I am building, including the cases where I should not use it. If it does fit, give me the single smallest first step.

    Expected outcome

    A direct yes or no with the reasoning, the cases against it, and one first step. Treat a hedged answer as a no.

  3. Brief your team on it

    Someone has to explain the change to the people who will live with it. This produces that note.

    Write a short note for my team about Let your app's users connect their own GitHub account in Lovable — the GitHub API connector now supports per-user access. Under 120 words: what it is, what changes for us, and what we should do about it this week. Plain language, no hype, no bullet padding.

    Expected outcome

    A note you can paste into chat as-is. Read it once for anything overstated before you send it.
