Connecting GitHub

To use Apply Fix, Semantyx needs a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) so it can read your repo files and open PRs. Here's how to create one.

Create the PAT

• Go to github.com/settings/tokens.
• Click Generate new token (classic).
• Give it a name like “Semantyx Apply Fix”.
• Set expiration to 90 days (or never if you prefer; we recommend rotating).
• Under Select scopes, check only repo. Nothing else.
• Click Generate token at the bottom.
• Copy the token (starts with ghp_) — you won't see it again.

Add it to Semantyx

For now, the PAT is configured server-side as an env var (we'll move to per-user OAuth in a future release). If you're self-hosting, set GITHUB_PAT on your Railway service. If you're a hosted Semantyx customer, email support@semantyxintel.com and we'll set it up for your account.

What we use it for

• Read repo file trees (to find which file holds a fix)
• Read individual file contents (to merge the fix into them)
• Create branches
• Commit changes
• Open Pull Requests

We never push to your base branch directly. Every change goes through a PR.
