GitHub Integration

Connect your repositories and automate issue creation from feedback

Overview

DebugGo's GitHub integration enables seamless synchronization between user feedback and your development workflow. Automatically create issues from bug reports, track their status, and keep your team informed.

Automatic Issue Creation

Bug reports automatically create GitHub issues with full context

Bidirectional Sync

Issue status updates sync back to your DebugGo dashboard

Permissions

DebugGo requests the minimum permissions necessary to function:

Repository Access

Read and write access to issues and pull requests

Create and update issues
Add labels and assignees
Post comments

Webhook Events

Automatically configured webhooks for:

Installation events
Repository changes
Issue updates

Privacy First

DebugGo never accesses your code. We only interact with issues and metadata.

Configuration

1. Connect GitHub Account

During onboarding, you'll be prompted to connect your GitHub account. This creates a GitHub App installation.

2. Select Repositories

Choose which repositories DebugGo can access. You can start with specific repos and add more later.

3. Configure Project Settings

In your DebugGo project settings, select which repository to create issues in:

Go to Dashboard → Projects → Your Project
Click on "GitHub Settings" tab
Select your target repository
Configure issue labels (optional)
Save changes

Webhook Events

DebugGo automatically handles these GitHub webhook events:

installation

Triggered when the app is installed or uninstalled

installation_repositories

Triggered when repositories are added or removed

issues

Syncs issue status changes back to DebugGo

Troubleshooting

Issues not being created?

Verify the GitHub App is installed for your repository
Check that a repository is selected in project settings
Ensure auto-create is enabled for bug reports

Can't see all repositories?

The repository list only shows repos where the GitHub App is installed. Add more via GitHub → Installed Apps → Configure.

Need to reconfigure?

You can always modify your GitHub integration settings at github.com/settings/installations

Security

DebugGo follows GitHub's security best practices:

JWT Authentication

All API calls use short-lived JWT tokens

Webhook Verification

All webhooks are verified using HMAC signatures

Minimal Permissions

We only request permissions necessary for core functionality
