Connecting a git provider
Plexus opens and tracks pull requests directly on GitHub and Bitbucket. Connecting a provider is a one-click sign-in — no CLI to install, no personal access tokens to paste.
Connect a provider
Open Settings → Git providers and click Connect next to GitHub or Bitbucket. Your browser opens the provider's normal authorization screen; approve it and you're returned to Plexus, connected. The status line shows the account you're signed in as.
Once a provider is connected you can also search your repositories and clone one straight into a new project — the same on-device token authenticates private clones. See Add a repository.
Where your token lives — what leaves your device
Plexus uses a small managed sign-in service we run in the EU. When you connect, the provider hands back a short-lived authorization code; Plexus sends only that code to the service, which holds the OAuth app secret and exchanges it for your access token.
The token is returned to your device and stored in your operating system's keychain — we don't keep it. From then on, Plexus talks to GitHub or Bitbucket directly from your machine; your repository names, code, and pull-request contents never pass through our servers. Because the token lives locally, PR features keep working offline after you've signed in.
This is the managed connection service only — a broker, not a proxy. It is separate from the anonymous usage analytics Plexus collects, and neither one sends us Your Content.
Disconnect
Click Disconnect in Settings → Git providers to remove the stored token from your keychain. You can reconnect any time.
Next: open and track pull requests. For how connections relate to what data leaves your device, see our Privacy Policy.
