Segments

Segments are dimensions that Codacy reads from your provider that organizes repositories into relevant groups for you. Today, Segments is available for: GitHub Custom Properties

Where can Segments be utilised?

• Repository list
• Security & Management Risk

Enabling Segments

To enable Segments, an initial sync between your provider and Codacy needs to happen. Once completed, you can use Segments to better locate and organize repositories within Codacy.

GitHub Custom Properties

Create, use, and manage custom properties for your repositories directly in GitHub. Custom properties allow you to assign tags or metadata to repositories, making it easier to categorize and filter them.

Refer to GitHub's official documentation for detailed steps on how to add, edit, and manage repository Custom Properties.

Keep Segments in sync

For changes to repository Custom Properties in GitHub to be automatically reflected in Codacy, users need to accept the new permission request made by the Codacy GitHub app.

Note

If the permission is not accepted, users will still be able to use Repository Custom Properties as filters in Codacy, but will need to manually trigger a sync. This can be done using the manual sync button available in the filter dropdown, which allows users to synchronize changes from GitHub, though the process may take longer.
