Why teams connect GitHub and Sharepoint

Land the records and documents that build up in GitHub into Sharepoint as they are created, and surface Sharepoint's file details on the GitHub records that point to them, without an export job to maintain.

GitHub and Sharepoint hold different kinds of data. GitHub carries records and the activity around them — the tickets, messages, orders, or issues a team works through, often with documents attached. Sharepoint holds files and the metadata that describes them. Where the two meet is narrow but real: much of what GitHub produces has to be kept somewhere durable, and many of the files Sharepoint stores are the very documents GitHub's records point to.

Stacksync syncs Labels and Milestones, Repositories, Issues, Pull Requests in GitHub with Site pages, Sites, Lists, List items in Sharepoint in real time. Records and attachments created in GitHub are written into Sharepoint as objects or files within seconds of being created. In the other direction, the metadata Sharepoint keeps about those files — name, location, owner, modified date — flows back onto the matching record in GitHub, so people see the current document without leaving the tool. Field-level mapping controls exactly what crosses over and in which direction, so you keep a durable copy of what matters without an extract to schedule or a nightly dump that leaves the copy a day behind.

Common use cases

  • 01 Publish release data into customer-communication tools when a new version ships.
  • 02 Two-way sync of GitHub issues with Jira, Linear, or a support system so engineering and customer-facing teams work in their own tools.
  • 03 Stream list and library changes through delta query and change-notification webhooks into a warehouse for audit, access-review, and reporting.
  • 04 Two-way sync SharePoint List items with a database table so internal apps read and write structured records in SQL without calling the SharePoint API directly.

Common sync patterns

Where GitHub generates attachments: keep the files in Sharepoint

Documents attached to records in GitHub land in the storage system automatically, with the source record holding a link back, so files live in one governed place instead of inside the tool.

Where Sharepoint holds the source documents: file details on the record

A file's name, location, owner, and modified date from Sharepoint sync onto the matching record in GitHub, so whoever is working there sees the current version without switching tools.

A copy that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Sharepoint preserves records and documents even as they age out of GitHub or get changed inside it, so history stays intact and reachable.

What you can sync between GitHub and Sharepoint

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

GitHub objects Sharepoint objects How this pairing syncs
Users Author and assignee identities matched to internal directories. Sites SharePoint site collections and subsites via /sites; read site properties and discover the document libraries (drives) and lists each site contains, addressed by hostname and site path or site ID. Users is specific to GitHub and Sites to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Labels and Milestones Classification fields mapped to statuses and sprints in external trackers. Lists Custom lists and libraries via /sites/{id}/lists; create and read lists along with their columns and content types so a target system can mirror or provision list definitions. Labels and Milestones is specific to GitHub and Lists to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Repositories Top-level containers whose metadata and settings syncs read to scope other objects. List items Rows in a SharePoint list via /lists/{id}/items with a fields facet of column values; full create, read, update, and delete, synced two-way with database rows. Repositories is specific to GitHub and List items to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Issues Synced two-way with project trackers and support tools, including labels and assignees. Drive items (document libraries) Files and folders in a library's drive via /drives and /drive/root; upload, download, move, delete, and read per-item metadata, synced two-way with a store. Issues is specific to GitHub and Drive items (document libraries) to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Pull Requests Review state, status checks, and merge status feed engineering dashboards and workflow tools. Columns and content types Field definitions and content types on a site or list; read the schema and create columns so database fields map cleanly onto SharePoint list fields. Pull Requests is specific to GitHub and Columns and content types to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Commits Read-only history used to link code activity to tickets and releases. Permissions and sharing Role assignments and sharing links on sites, list items, and drive items; read and written to manage access, requiring Sites.Manage.All or Sites.FullControl.All scopes. Commits is specific to GitHub and Permissions and sharing to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between GitHub and Sharepoint

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

GitHub Sharepoint Sub-second propagation

DetectionGitHub notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks with a broad event catalog covering issues, pull requests, pushes, and releases.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Sharepoint through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Sharepoint GitHub Sub-second propagation

DetectionSharepoint notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Delta query (pull) tracks created, updated, and deleted list items (/lists/{id}/items/delta) and drive items (/drives/{id}/root/delta) since the last.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to GitHub through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • GitHub: Authenticated REST requests are limited to 5,000 per hour per user; GitHub Apps scale limits per installation.
  • Sharepoint: SharePoint Online throttles per app, returning HTTP 429 (or 503) with a Retry-After header in seconds and IETF RateLimit-Limit, RateLimit-Remaining, and RateLimit-Reset headers; throttled requests still count toward limits, so clients honor the greater of Retry-After and RateLimit-Reset with exponential backoff.

Sharepoint

Integration surface
Microsoft Graph REST API (graph.microsoft.com/v1.0 and beta) covering SharePoint sites, lists, list items, columns, content types, and document-library drives and drive items; plus the classic SharePoint REST API (_api/web) and CSOM. Supports Graph JSON $batch (up to 20 requests per call).
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 via the Microsoft identity platform (Microsoft Entra ID). An app registration holds delegated or application (app-only) scopes such as Sites.Read.All, Sites.ReadWrite.All, Sites.Selected, Sites.Manage.All, or Sites.FullControl.All, plus Files.ReadWrite.All for drive content; application permissions require tenant admin consent.
Change detection
Delta query (pull) tracks created, updated, and deleted list items (/lists/{id}/items/delta) and drive items (/drives/{id}/root/delta) since the last deltaLink; change-notification subscriptions (push webhooks) POST near-real-time notifications for list and drive/root changes to a notification URL and must be renewed before they expire. Classic SharePoint list webhooks are also available.
