CLA

Repositories

Assign CLA templates to GitHub repositories and manage per-repo governance settings.

Repositories under CLA (/app/governance/repositories) lists GitHub repos where you can attach a CLA template and review governance status.

What you can do

  • Browse installed repositories
  • Select a repository to open its detail page (/app/governance/repositories/[repositoryId])
  • Choose which template version applies to that repo
  • Choose the signing mode for the repository, including Dropbox Sign when the selected template uses a Dropbox Sign template

Setup workflow

  1. Install Open CLA on repositories where you need CLA checks.
  2. Create or select a template.
  3. Open CLA → Repositories and pick the target repo.
  4. Assign the active template version.
  5. If using Dropbox Sign, confirm the Dropbox Sign integration is connected and the callback URL is configured.
  6. Verify the CLA check appears on a test pull request.

Admin access

Changing template assignment requires GitHub admin permission on the repository, as enforced by the Superagent API.
