Connect GitHub repository

Connect your Spice.ai app to a GitHub repository

Connecting your Spice.ai app to a GitHub repository allows you to create custom Datasets and Views, add datasets to Spice Firecache, and train AI Models.

Prepare the repository

Before connecting:

• Admin access: Ensure you have administrative access to the GitHub repository. This level of access is required to install the Spice.ai GitHub app.

• Matching repository name: The Spice.ai app and the GitHub repository names must match. For example:

  • Spice.ai app: spice.ai/spiceai/demo

  • GitHub repository: github.com/spiceai/demo

To quickly set up a new repository, use the spice-app-template as a starting point:
