GitHub Issues Sync

We’ve heard your feedback that you would like to manage issues for open source projects in Linear. With GitHub Issues Sync, your OSS issues can now be synced bidirectionally between GitHub and Linear. This lets you triage and discuss your community requests in the same place as all of your other work.

  • Issues in linked GitHub repositories will show up in Linear.
  • Title, description, status, labels, assignee, and comments on the GitHub issue will sync across both applications.
  • Reply to GitHub issue comments from Linear via the synced thread or have separate, private discussions in the issue with your teammates.

To start ingesting issues from your OSS repository, set up the integration in GitHub Integration settings.

Integrations gallery

You can now browse and search for all integrations, including those made by third parties, in the new integrations gallery in workspace settings. Individual integrations settings pages have been updated to include screenshots, a detailed description, and configuration instructions.
