GitHub connector details

The GitHub connector continuously captures repository and organization data from GitHub into Estuary collections using the GitHub REST API, enabling right-time visibility across code, collaboration, and DevOps activities.

  • Comprehensive coverage: Captures a wide range of GitHub resources including commits, pull requests, issues, workflows, releases, stargazers, and more, spanning both batch and incremental data.
  • Right-time synchronization: Continuously ingests new commits, issues, and discussions as they occur, providing developers and data teams with an up-to-date view of repository activity.
  • Flexible authentication: Supports OAuth2 for secure browser-based access or Personal Access Tokens (PATs) for command-line or managed integration setups.
  • Granular configuration: Allows selective repository capture, branch-level filtering, and adjustable page sizes for large projects.
  • Scalable for enterprise teams: Efficiently handles multi-repository or organization-wide synchronization while respecting GitHub API rate limits.
  • Schema-aligned structure: Each GitHub resource maps to a separate Flow collection, simplifying downstream analysis, metrics tracking, or data lake ingestion.

💡 Tip: For organizations with many repositories, use wildcard patterns (like org/*) to automatically capture all repositories under one organization, ensuring comprehensive and future-proof coverage of your GitHub data.
