Once you make a connection to a GitHub repository from Azure Boards, you can add or remove repositories under the same GitHub account or organization. Or, you can completely remove the connection to all repositories.

You can manage which GitHub repositories can participate in Azure Boards integration. For more information, see Change GitHub repository access, or suspend or uninstall the integration.

Note

With the Azure Boards app for GitHub, Azure Boards and Azure DevOps Services support integration with GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise Server repositories. Integration with other Git repositories is not supported.
