GitHub Issues Integration

Switching to a browser tab to check or update a GitHub Issue breaks flow. Project Dashboard AI syncs Issues directly into the IDE checklist — bidirectionally, so changes made in either place stay consistent.

What syncs​

  • Issue state — Open, Closed, Not Planned, tracked and updated instantly in both directions.
  • Labels — synced automatically, including GitHub's label colors, shown as pills on the checklist. Filter your local checklist by label the same way you would on GitHub.
  • Assignees — multi-assignee support, changes reflected on both ends.
  • Comments — bidirectional sync between the local checklist and GitHub Issue comments, with badge counters for new comments so you don't miss activity.

Setting it up​

Add a GitHub personal access token under Settings → Tools → Project Dashboard AI. The token needs repo scope (or public_repo for public repositories only) to read and write Issues.

Creating and updating issues from the IDE​

Add a task on the Checklist tab and sync it to create a matching GitHub Issue — or load existing Issues into your checklist to start tracking them locally. Updates to title, labels, assignees, or status push back to GitHub without needing the browser.

Pull requests and Actions, alongside Issues​

The same GitHub connection powers two adjacent tabs:

  • Pull requests — list and manage PRs: open in browser, view checks, copy links, checkout the head branch, edit assignees/labels/reviewers, comment, and merge (merge commit, squash, or rebase) or close/reopen.
  • GitHub Actions — browse workflow runs with branch filtering, and jump from a PR straight to the runs for that branch.
