If your company already uses DevGlimpse, you do not install anything. You sign in with GitHub and join your company’s workspace. This page covers the ways in and what to expect.

Join by signing in

  1. Open DevGlimpse and select Sign in with GitHub.
  2. Authorize the sign-in on GitHub. DevGlimpse uses your account once to read who you are and which organizations you belong to, then drops it.
  3. If your company’s GitHub organization already has a workspace, you join it as a Developer. You land on your dashboard.

DevGlimpse checks your membership with GitHub. A login alone is never proof.

If your admin requires approval

Some workspaces make new members wait. Your membership shows as Pending approval and you cannot open the workspace until an org admin approves you. Ask them, then sign in again.

An org admin can share an invite link. Open it, sign in with GitHub and you join as a developer. Links work for seven days. If the link was revoked or has expired, you see a message asking you to request a new one.

Join by email

If you have no GitHub account, an org admin can invite your email address. You receive a one-time sign-in link and join with the role the admin chose. The invitation stays open for seven days. If your workspace requires single sign-on, use your company’s SSO instead.

If you see No workspace yet

You are signed in, but your organization has no workspace, or you are not a member of it. Ask an owner of your GitHub organization to install the DevGlimpse GitHub App. On the page, under You aren’t an organization admin, you can copy an invite link for them. Once the App is installed, sign in again.

Switch workspaces

You can belong to more than one workspace, for example as a contractor. The workspace name and your role badge appear at the top of the left navigation.

  1. Select the workspace name. The list appears under Workspaces.
  2. Choose another workspace. DevGlimpse reloads with your role in that workspace.

The menu is only active when you belong to more than one workspace.

What you can see

By default a developer sees their own individual metrics and every team and group aggregate. Managers also see the people in their own groups and teams. Your admin can change this. See Roles.
