Getting started · Connect to your team

Connect to your team

You've been invited to a RepoOps team. This walkthrough is for the person accepting the invite, not the admin who sent it: accept, install the free desktop app, bind it to the team, and turn on streaming so your work actually shows up.

The flow, end to end

  1. Open your invite link.

    Your team admin sends a link that looks like repoops.ai/team/join/<token>. Open it in a browser.

  2. Sign in with Google.

    If you don't already have a RepoOps account, signing in creates one automatically. Your invite is accepted the moment you land back on that page: you'll see "You're in 🎉".

  3. Install the free desktop app (if you haven't already).

    Grab the installer from the install doc. The desktop app is free for one developer, whether or not you're on a team.

  4. Generate a connect code.

    Back in the browser, open repoops.ai/team/connect and click Generate connect code. You get a one-time code, valid for 15 minutes.

  5. Paste the code into the desktop app.

    In the desktop app: Settings → Connect to team. Paste the code, confirm, and accept the consent screen that explains what the team can and can't see.

  6. Turn on 'Stream to your team' - this is the step people miss.

    Binding a desktop does not, by itself, send anything anywhere. In Settings, find Stream to your team and switch it on. Until you do, your admin sees a bound device with zero data - this is the single most common support question after a team invite.

  7. Optional: share lessons with your team.

    A separate toggle, Share lessons with your team, opts your repo's learned lessons into the org-wide lesson feed. Off by default; turn it on if your team wants cross-repo lesson sharing.

What you get once you're connected

  • Your work counts. Telemetry, spend, and activity roll up into your team's shared view at repoops.ai/team.
  • Your brain stays private. The brain itself (decisions, lessons, session history) lives on your machine and is never uploaded, unless you opt in via "Share lessons."
  • Server-owned policy applies. Budget alerts, governance rules, and other team-level controls take effect on your bound desktop once you're connected.
⚠
Already have your own RepoOps account?
If you signed up for Solo Hosted on your own before accepting a team invite, contact your team admin before you accept it. There is a known issue where the invite can bind to your existing personal account/team instead of the inviting team (tracked as WS5 of the onboarding funnel integrity plan). Your admin can confirm which team you actually landed on.
