You can: * Remove the application from specific repositories, and grant access on a repository-by-repository basis * Suspend the application * Remove the application We'll take a look at each of these below for personal and organizational GitHub accounts. Note that all settings regarding access control between the Release GitHub application and your GitHub repositories are configured in your **GitHub** account, not your Release account. ## Removing access to specific repositories To remove Release access, you need to log in to your GitHub account and navigate to the application settings page. This differs slightly depending on whether you are using a GitHub **personal** or **organizational** account. ### For a personal GitHub account Log in to your GitHub account and visit the [application settings page](https://github.com/settings/installations) by pressing your account icon in the top right corner and then pressing **Settings**. Choose **Applications** from the left sidebar and press **Configure** next to the application called "releasehub-com". ![Configure Release application](https://585411240-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M1neGLLQ0sDXeK6ooSo%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a2b57d6eaad43f9bfeecc49faa72c05b0d9d3897%2Fgithub-remove-integration-configure-application.png?alt=media) ### For an organizational GitHub account Log in to your GitHub account (which should be an admin account for the GitHub organization) and navigate to the Organization by selecting it from the dropdown of available accounts on the left sidebar and pressing **View organization**. ![Select org](https://585411240-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M1neGLLQ0sDXeK6ooSo%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-7bd6d186af24fe503c06b6fde4248dfa9964d8b2%2Fgithub-remove-integration-select-org.png?alt=media) Select **Settings** from the top menu. ![Org settings](https://585411240-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M1neGLLQ0sDXeK6ooSo%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-946842e78a8c680ca2447f7956f14520b0e107d7%2Fgithub-remove-integration-org-settings.png?alt=media) Press **GitHub Apps** under the "Integrations" section and press **Configure**. ![Configure org app](https://585411240-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M1neGLLQ0sDXeK6ooSo%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-3a7aebfed6c441a1acee5f667f0062fd6bd3ad5a%2Fgithub-remove-integration-settings-application-org.png?alt=media) ### Adding or removing repositories For either a personal or organization account, you can remove specific repositories as follows. Under **Repository access**, select **Only select repositories** if this is not already chosen. Under the selected repositories, click on the **x** icon to remove access to that repository. ![Delete repo](https://585411240-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M1neGLLQ0sDXeK6ooSo%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-023345c9bfb3a48d8d1cad245598c3a9fdd26979%2Fgithub-remove-integration-delete-repo.png?alt=media) ## Suspending or removing access completely If you want to stop the Release GitHub application from accessing anything in your GitHub account, you can suspend the application or uninstall it completely. * If you suspend it, Release will no longer be able to perform any actions in your GitHub account, as if you had removed it. However, you'll be able to re-enable it at any time, and keep your previous settings. * If you uninstall it, Release will be removed completely. If you reinstall it in future, you'll have to reconfigure it to access the correct repositories. For either option, scroll down to the red "Danger zone" section and press either the **Suspend** or **Uninstall** button. ![Danger zone](https://585411240-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M1neGLLQ0sDXeK6ooSo%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-48014325dda8f334f9425997c22300db657c8a04%2Fgithub-remove-integration-danger-zone.png?alt=media) Note that both options present only a single confirmation dialog box to confirm the action, so make sure that you do not have anything important that depends on the integration being active before suspending or removing it. If in doubt, talk to the Release support team first. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.release.com/integrations/source-control-integrations/github/remove-github-integration.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
