How it works

The Github Connector picks up all of the Pull Requests and Issues in a specified repository.

  • It will index both Open and Closed PRs. This includes the Title and Summary.
  • It will index Issues and comments both Open and Closed
  • Includes certain other metadata such as the URL, creator, etc.

​
Setting up

Authorization

  4. On the bottom, go to Developer settings -> Personal access tokens -> Tokens (classic)
  5. Click on Generate new token
