# Connect a Repository

> Connect a GitHub repository to Ito so it can monitor your pull requests and run automated QA tests.

<Note>
  You must have the Ito GitHub App installed on your organization or personal account before connecting a repository. See the [quickstart](/quickstart) for installation steps.
</Note>

<Info>
  If you're not a GitHub organization owner, installing the Ito GitHub App sends an access request to your organization owner. Ito shows a **Waiting on organization owner approval** page until the owner approves the install. Use **Resend request** on that page to re-notify them.
</Info>

Ito monitors your repositories for new and updated pull requests. Once you connect a repository, Ito will automatically run tests whenever a PR is opened or updated.

## Connect a repository

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Repositories">
    In the left sidebar, click **Repositories**. The page lists all repositories that are currently connected to Ito, along with their status and last updated time.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the GitHub App settings">
    Click **Manage Repositories** in the top-right corner. This opens the Ito GitHub App settings page on GitHub.

    <Info>
      The **Manage Repositories** button is only visible to organization admins.
    </Info>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select repositories">
    In the GitHub App settings, choose which repositories Ito can access. You can grant access to all repositories in your organization, or select specific ones.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save your changes">
    Click **Save** on the GitHub page. The selected repositories will appear in Ito's Repositories list within a few seconds.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Once a repository is connected, Ito begins monitoring its pull requests. The next time a PR is opened or pushed to, Ito will run automated tests and post results.

## Search for a repository

Use the search field at the top of the Repositories page to filter the list by repository name. The search updates the list as you type.

## Disconnect a repository

To stop Ito from monitoring a repository, return to the GitHub App settings via **Manage Repositories** and remove the repository's access. Ito will no longer run tests on new pull requests for that repository.

<Info>
  Existing test results for disconnected repositories remain accessible in the dashboard.
