Integrations / GitHub
Ingest every pull request, issue, push, and CI run from your repos. Query your codebase activity with AI.
Real-time events
Webhooks stream every PR, issue, push, and workflow run into Lightfast within seconds.
Read-only access
Lightfast requests the minimum scope needed — repository read, issues read, pull requests read. Never writes.
Historical backfill
Install once and Lightfast backfills your entire event history. Query activity from day one.
Entity graph
Pull requests, issues, authors, and reviewers become first-class entities in your engineering graph.
Why connect GitHub?
Your repos are the source of truth for what your team shipped, reviewed, and deployed. Connecting GitHub turns that activity into queryable knowledge — ask "what did Alex ship last sprint?" and Lightfast answers from real PR data.
How it works
- Click Install GitHub on the Lightfast integrations settings page.
- Authorize the Lightfast GitHub App on the repos you want to connect.
- Events start flowing immediately. Backfill runs in the background.
- Query your engineering activity through chat or the API.
