Getting started

Sign in

f451 does not have its own accounts. The sign-in page shows one button per sign-in method your instance offers — for example Sign in with Microsoft Entra, Sign in with Forgejo or Sign in with GitHub. There is no separate f451 password to remember.

Connect your Git account

What you can see depends on your Git account, so f451 needs it linked. If you signed in with Forgejo or GitHub, that account is usually linked right away and you can skip this step. Otherwise — for example after signing in with Microsoft Entra — link your Forgejo or GitHub account under Settings → Connections:

Link your f451 account with Forgejo or GitHub to include spaces from the respective repositories.

Open the account menu and choose Settings, then Connections, and select Connect for the provider your spaces live on. If a connection has expired, the same page shows Reconnect — until you reconnect, spaces from that provider stay hidden.

Important

Without a linked account you see no spaces. f451 has no role system of its own: what you may read and write is exactly what your Forgejo or GitHub account may do in the space's repository. Reading needs read access to the repository; writing needs write access, and every change is committed under your own name — f451 never writes on your behalf using a shared or service account.
