  • Repositories: Create, clone, fork, view, and manage repos
  • Issues: Create, list, view, close, comment, and label issues
  • Pull Requests: Create, review, merge, list, and comment on PRs
  • Releases: Create releases and manage tags
  • Gists: Create and manage gists
  • Search: Search repos, issues, PRs, code, and users

How the GitHub connector works

A connected service becomes one permissioned step in the work you hand off.

  1. 1

    Connect GitHub

    Choose OAuth (Recommended).

  2. 2

    Choose the work

    Use only the supported actions your workflow needs.

  3. 3

    Run it your way

    Start it once, schedule it, or attach an event trigger.

Connect GitHub securely

Use the connection method that fits your account and grant only the access the workflow needs.

  • OAuth (Recommended)

Connector access is controlled per service and per action, so a workflow does not need broader access than the work you ask it to do.
