Github App or Team Bot

👍

GitHub User? Install Codecov's GitHub App!

Integrating with Codecov is easy using Codecov's GitHub App.

Once installed, you are done! You do not need to set a Team Bot because Codecov will use the integration to post statuses and comments.

Codecov will use a single user's OAuth token to interact with your repositories, using Bitbucket or GitLab API's. We call this the Codecov Bot.

Please follow these steps to select a Codecov Bot.

1. Choose an existing user account, or create a new bot account (this would be a username for Gitlab or Bitbucket).

• This account MUST have admin access in order to send webhooks and create comments.

2. First, Login with this account into Codecov. so we have a token for it.
3. Set the bot in the Team Yaml by navigating to /account/<PROVIDER>/<ORG>/yaml.
4. Type in the new username in the yaml as seen below.
5. Click Save.
6. Run a CI and upload coverage to Codecov to confirm that the new setup works.

# The user that you will use to serve as the bot connection to Codecov
# This bot user must have permissions on the repo and Codecov (by logging in)

codecov:
  bot: <bot-username> #this is a username for Github/Gitlab/Bitbucket

Team Bot FAQ

Do I need to login with the bot account first?

Yes. Codecov needs to get the bot's account OAuth token and link the user to your team.

Do I change the Global Yaml while logged in from the bot account?

No. Only Codecov Administrators and GitLab/Bitbucket Team Administrators can adjust the Global YAML on the settings page of your organization.
