Version control is the most important connection — it powers pull request, review, cycle time, and output metrics. Connect the one your engineers actually push code to. All of these are connected from Admin → Connections → Version Control in the Bilanc dashboard.

​
GitHub

GitHub is connected in two steps: authorize Bilanc (OAuth), then install the Bilanc GitHub App on the organizations you want to track. Who needs to do it: a GitHub organization owner, so they can install the app and grant repository access.

​
Steps

  1. On the GitHub card, click Connect.
  2. Authorize Bilanc in the GitHub popup.
  3. When prompted to install the GitHub App, select the organization and choose All repositories (or pick specific repos).
  4. To add another organization later, open the GitHub card’s Settings (gear) icon and click + to start a new installation.
Bilanc requests read-only access to repository metadata, pull requests, and organization membership. It does not get write access.

​
GitLab

GitLab supports both GitLab Cloud (gitlab.com) and self-hosted instances. Who needs to do it: a group owner or maintainer with visibility into the projects you want tracked.

​
GitLab Cloud

  1. On the GitLab card, click Connect.
  2. Choose GitLab Cloud.
  3. Authorize Bilanc in the GitLab popup.

​
Self-hosted GitLab

  1. On the GitLab card, click Connect.
  2. Choose Self-hosted GitLab and enter your instance URL (e.g. https://gitlab.yourcompany.com).
  3. Authorize with a personal access token from an account that can see the relevant projects. The token needs the read_api and read_repository scopes — create one at GitLab → User Settings → Access Tokens.

​
Bitbucket

Who needs to do it: a Bitbucket workspace admin.

​
Steps

  1. On the Bitbucket card, click Connect.
  2. Authorize Bilanc and select the workspace you want to track.

​
Azure DevOps

Who needs to do it: a project or organization admin in Azure DevOps.

​
Steps

  1. On the Azure DevOps card, click Connect.
  2. Sign in and authorize Bilanc for the organization you want to track.
