What Stacksync syncs in GitHub.

These objects sync between GitHub and any connected system, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution. Custom fields are picked up from the live schema where GitHub exposes them.

Repositories
Top-level containers whose metadata and settings syncs read to scope other objects.
Issues
Synced two-way with project trackers and support tools, including labels and assignees.
Pull Requests
Review state, status checks, and merge status feed engineering dashboards and workflow tools.
Commits
Read-only history used to link code activity to tickets and releases.
Releases
Tagged versions synced into changelogs, CRMs, or customer-notification systems.
Workflow runs (Actions)
CI results synced into incident and reporting systems.
Organizations and Teams
Membership data synced with identity systems and HR directories for access reviews.
Users
Author and assignee identities matched to internal directories.
Labels and Milestones
Classification fields mapped to statuses and sprints in external trackers.
API surface

How Stacksync connects to GitHub.

The connector runs on GitHub's native API. Stacksync manages authentication, rate limits, retries, and schema changes so your team does not maintain integration code.

Connection
REST API and GraphQL API
Authentication
OAuth 2.0, fine-grained personal access tokens, or GitHub App installation tokens
Change detection
Webhooks with a broad event catalog covering issues, pull requests, pushes, and releases; polling for backfill
Rate limits
Authenticated REST requests are limited to 5,000 per hour per user; GitHub Apps scale limits per installation.

What ships with GitHub

Connect GitHub for flexible, real-time data sync.

Real-time sync, workflow automation, event queues, EDI, and monitoring, for every connection.

Real-time

Two-way sync

Changes in GitHub instantly reflect across connected systems. No stale data, no manual imports.

No-code + pro-code

Workflow automation

Trigger automated workflows whenever GitHub data changes, update records, fire webhooks, or kick off sequences without brittle API scripts.

At scale

Event queues

Handle millions of events per minute without losing a single GitHub record.

Observability

Monitoring

Track your GitHub sync health, view errors, and replay failed events in one click.

Trading partners

EDI

Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions.

Use cases

What teams run on the GitHub connector.

GitHub is bought at the organization level by engineering leadership and IT, and sits at the center of the software delivery stack as the system of record for source code, code review, and CI/CD through Actions. Its data gravity is in Repositories, Issues, Pull Requests, and Workflow runs - the operational history of how software gets built - which engineering ops, managers, and security teams increasingly need in databases, dashboards, and compliance tooling.

  • Platform / DevOps engineering
  • Engineering managers
  • IT and security teams
  • Engineering ops

  1. Two-way sync of GitHub issues with Jira, Linear, or a support system so engineering and customer-facing teams work in their own tools.

  2. Mirror repository, PR, and workflow-run data into a Postgres database for engineering-metrics reporting.

  3. Sync organization and team membership with an identity or HR system to automate access reviews and offboarding.

  4. Create GitHub issues automatically from records written elsewhere, such as bug reports logged in a CRM case object.

  5. Publish release data into customer-communication tools when a new version ships.

  6. Sync Pull Requests, Commits, and Workflow runs (Actions) into a Postgres or warehouse table to build engineering metrics such as cycle time, review latency, and deployment frequency without maintaining webhook infrastructure.

How it works

Set up GitHub in minutes, without APIs.

Configure and sync within minutes, no code. Whether you sync 50k or 100M+ records, Stacksync handles the queues, infra, and plumbing. Integrations are non-invasive and need zero setup on your systems.

  1. 01

    Connect your apps

    Authenticate GitHub with its native method — OAuth, API keys, or service accounts — plus secure options like SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, and VPC peering.

    Choose tables

    Pick the GitHub objects to sync — Stacksync auto-detects the schema, including custom fields where the platform exposes them. Sync to existing tables, or let Stacksync create new ones with ideal data types.

FAQ

GitHub connector FAQ

What can I sync with the GitHub connector?

GitHub's core objects — Repositories, Issues, Pull Requests, Commits and custom fields — can sync with any of 302 other systems. Every integration is real-time and bidirectional, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution.

How does Stacksync connect to GitHub?

Via REST API and GraphQL API, authenticated with OAuth 2.0, fine-grained personal access tokens, or GitHub App installation tokens. Changes are detected as follows — webhooks with a broad event catalog covering issues, pull requests, pushes, and releases; polling for backfill. Stacksync manages rate limits, retries, and schema changes automatically.

Is the GitHub connector two-way?

Yes. Changes made in GitHub propagate to the connected system and vice versa, in milliseconds. One-way flows are also supported when a direction should stay read-only.

How long does a GitHub integration take to set up?

Most GitHub integrations go live in minutes: authenticate GitHub and the other system, pick objects and fields, and enable the sync. No code and no infrastructure to manage.

Is GitHub data secure in transit?

Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR and HIPAA compliant. GitHub data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means records are not retained after a sync operation.
