GitHub

GitHub keeps developers and project managers aligned by linking code changes to tasks.

What is the GitHub Integration?

The GitHub integration connects Astra Forge tasks with pull requests, commits, and issues. When developers push code or open PRs, Astra can auto-link progress back to the right task.

Key Features

• Link Tasks ↔ PRs – See code progress inside Astra tasks.

• Auto-Status Updates – Move tasks to “In Review” when a PR opens.

• Branch Naming – Auto-generate branches from task IDs.

• Commit Mentions – Mention task_123 in commits to sync activity.

• Security – OAuth connection, scoped permissions.

Why Use It?

Teams see the full lifecycle—work planned, code written, task delivered—all without switching tools.

GitHub in Action

integration: github
repo: "acme/checkout-service"
auto_link: true
branch_pattern: "task-{id}-{slug}"

In this example:

• The repo is linked.

• Branches auto-generate from task IDs.

• Commits mentioning a task ID sync back into Astra.
