Assign a repo to a different integration

If multiple users imported repos from the same Git host and project, you will have multiple integrations for the same account. Each repo shows as set up by the user that imported them.

1. Locate the repos you want to assign to a different integration. 
2. In the Actions dropdown menu, click Assign to integration. A modal appears.
3. Select the integration you want to assign the repo to. 
4. Find the integration and click Save.

   

   The next screen will inform you whether your assignment was successful. If the assignment was not successful, the repo was not associated with the integration’s account. Click Save again.
