> Connect GitHub so Sprocket's agent can link pull requests to threads, watch their checks and reviews, and settle threads when they merge.

The agent uses the [GitHub CLI](https://cli.github.com) for pull requests and other GitHub work. Sprocket installs it for you.

<Note>This is only in dev and canary builds. It isn't in a stable release yet. See [release
channels](/docs/install#release-channels).</Note>

## Sign in

In **Settings → Connectors**, click **Sign in** next to `github.com`. Sprocket shows a code and a link to GitHub. Open the link on any device, enter the code, and approve the sign-in. The GitHub card then shows **Signed in as** and your GitHub username. **Sign out** removes the login from the computer running Sprocket.

For GitHub Enterprise, click **Add a GitHub Enterprise host**, enter its hostname, and sign in the same way.

If `GH_TOKEN` or `GITHUB_TOKEN` is set where Sprocket runs, Sprocket uses that token instead. For an Enterprise host, set `GH_HOST` to its hostname and `GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN` or `GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN` to its token.

Sprocket no longer saves GitHub tokens. If you saved one in **Settings → Version Control**, sign in again from **Settings → Connectors**.

## Pull requests in threads

The agent links the pull requests it works on to the thread. They appear in the thread's **Pull requests** list with their current status. The agent can wait on a pull request until its checks finish or a reviewer comments.

To settle a thread when its pull requests merge, turn on **Settle threads when their PRs merge** in [Settings → General](/docs/reference/settings#general).

## Commits

Sprocket tells the agent to add Sprocket as a co-author on its commits. Turn this off in [Settings → Version Control](/docs/reference/settings#version-control).

## Turn off GitHub

Turn off GitHub, or one of its hosts, in **Settings → Connectors**. The agent then can't link pull requests, and their status stops refreshing.
