How it works

The GitHub Connector indexes Pull Requests and Issues from your specified repositories. It will:
  • Index both Open and Closed PRs, including the Title and Summary
  • Index both Open and Closed Issues, along with their comments
  • Include metadata such as:
    • URL
    • Creator
    • And more

​
Setting up

​
Authorization

This connector uses a GitHub Access Token. Follow these steps:
  1. Log in to GitHub.
  2. In the upper-right corner, click your profile avatar and select Settings.
  3. Scroll down to Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Tokens (classic).
  4. Click Generate new token.
  5. Grant repo access so the token can access PRs and Issues.
  6. Set an expiration time.
    ⚠️ Once the token expires, you must generate a new one and update it in Hymalaia to keep indexing up-to-date.

​
