GitHub integration

Connect GitHub to track PRs, issues, and commits in Ion.

What it does

  • Indexes PRs, issues, and commits from selected repositories.
  • Provides triggers for automations (PR opened, merged, closed).
  • Links PRs to Linear tickets automatically.
  • Posts PR summaries to Slack via automations.

Connecting

  1. Go to Integrations → GitHub → Connect.
  2. Authorize the Ion GitHub app.
  3. Select which repositories Ion can access.

Recommended repositories

Start with your main application repos. Don't connect forks, mirrors, or archived repos — they'll just add noise to your context.

Privacy

Ion never writes to your repositories. The GitHub app is read-only by default. Automations that need to write (e.g., comment on a PR) require explicit additional scopes you grant per-automation.
