The GitHub integration is one of Leanmote's two foundational data sources (the other is your planning tool). It powers DORA metrics, flow metrics, and the Team Collaboration Network.
What Leanmote pulls from GitHub
Repositories you select for inclusion.
Commits, including author and timestamp metadata.
Pull requests, including open/merge/close timestamps and labels.
Pull-request reviews and review comments.
Pull-request comments and review threads.
Connect GitHub
Open
Administration → Productivity Tools.Find GitHub in the Source Control section and click Connect.
You'll be redirected to GitHub's OAuth consent screen. Sign in as a user with admin access to the repos you want to track.
Choose Install on organization if you have a GitHub organization. This is the recommended path — it survives staff changes.
Select the repositories Leanmote should track. You can change this list later.
Click Authorize. The initial sync begins immediately.

Permissions
Leanmote requests only read-only scopes — no write access to GitHub. The integration needs read access to repositories, commits, pull requests, and reviews, plus user-profile access to map GitHub identities to Leanmote teammates.
Webhooks
Leanmote installs webhooks during the connection so it can receive near-real-time PR and review events. If you remove the webhook on GitHub, sync will fall back to scheduled polling.
Sync schedule
Initial backfill: pulls all available history within your plan's depth.
Incremental sync: scheduled refresh every few minutes plus webhook updates.
Common issues
Some repos missing — confirm they were selected during install. Re-open the integration to add or remove repos.
Disconnected after admin change — if the user who installed the integration left the organization, GitHub may revoke the install. Reinstall as the org.
Bot commits inflating metrics — exclude bot accounts in your team mapping.
