Connect GitHub to Align to turn repository activity into actionable tasks. Engineering teams stay synchronized across code and project management.

How it works
Align can:

• Create tasks from new GitHub issues with full context and assignees

• Update task status when PRs open, merge, or close

• Sync commit messages and branches to task comments

• Link GitHub repos to Align projects for complete visibility

• Trigger notifications for issue mentions or label changes

• Aggregate repo activity into engineering team dashboards

Teams often use this integration to build:

• Engineering sprint alignment

• Code review workflows

• Release planning boards

• Cross-team dependency tracking

• Technical debt prioritization

Configure

1. In Align, go to Settings → Integrations → GitHub

2. Click Connect GitHub and authorize your account or install app

3. Select repositories and teams to sync with Align projects

4. Map GitHub labels to Align task priorities and statuses

5. Set automation rules (New issue → Task, PR merged → Complete)

6. Test by creating a GitHub issue — it should appear as Align task
