GitHub hero If you use GitHub to version control your AI system, you can connect its repository to your Openlayer project. By doing so, every push or pull request to a pre-defined branch triggers the evaluation of your Openlayer tests. This is the most common way to set up Openlayer’s development mode. In this case, Openlayer works as a step in your CI/CD pipeline.

​
Connecting GitHub account

The first step is connecting your GitHub account to Openlayer. To do so, navigate to “Settings” > “Integrations.” Click “Enable” next to the GitHub integration section. Enabling the GitHub integration After clicking “Enable,” a window should pop up asking you to log in. Follow the instructions on the screen to log into your GitHub account and select the organization where the Openlayer GitHub app should be installed. Logging into GitHub Once a GitHub account is successfully connected to your GitHub account, you should see a “Manage” button, instead of “Enable.” Managing the GitHub integration

​
Linking a GitHub repo to a project

Now that your GitHub account is connected to your Openlayer workspace, you can link a repo to an Openlayer project. You have two options:
In both cases, you will be asked for the:
  • Branch name: the branch of the Git repo being connected. Pushes and pull requests to this branch will trigger the evaluation of your tests.
  • Root directory: the directory within the Git repo that will get pushed to Openlayer. This should be the directory with Openlayer’s configurations (such as the openlayer.json).

​
Pushing changes

After linking your GitHub repo to your Openlayer project, all your pushes and pull requests to the branch you configured in the previous step will trigger the evaluation of your tests. In your GitHub repo, you should see the Openlayer app running. Tests passing on GitHub If you navigate to your Openlayer project in app.openlayer.com, you should see the connected repo on the left sidebar. Furthermore, if you navigate to the “Commit leaderboard” page of your project, you should see all the commits to Openlayer linked to the original GitHub commits.
