About GitHub

GitHub is a code hosting platform for version control and collaboration, offering Git-based repository management, issue tracking, and continuous integration features

Changes wait in Needs you

Changes and sends in GitHub are held for a person's approval by default. The approval is recorded, and the action is sent once, never twice, with 10 seconds to undo.

How approvals work

GitHub questions

Can an agent change data in GitHub on its own?

Not by default. Changes and sends in GitHub are held for a person's approval. The approval is recorded, and the action is sent once, never twice, with 10 seconds to undo.

What can an agent read in GitHub?

This connector lists 465 read actions. Reads run at once, without waiting for approval.

How does GitHub connect?

It connects with OAuth 2.0. Connectors are built and maintained by third-party developers; availability is confirmed during scoping.
