01Overview

Overview

Connect GitHub once and choose the repositories. After that nobody links anything by hand: a pull request that names a card links itself, and merging it moves the card to Done.

02Set it up

from nothing to connected.

  1. Connect

    Open Settings → Connectors → GitHub and select Connect GitHub. You are taken to GitHub to approve, then brought straight back.

  2. Choose on GitHub

    On GitHub’s own page you pick the account or organization, and exactly which repositories xpntl can see.

  3. Turn repositories on

    Back in xpntl, turn on the repositories to use. To change the list itself, change it on GitHub and xpntl follows.

  4. Name the card

    Put the card’s key in the pull request’s title, description or branch name. Write it in capitals, as it appears on the card.

    git switch -c WEB-128-rate-limit

you choose the repositories.

On GitHub you pick exactly which repositories xpntl can see, then turn on the ones to use. It asks for two permissions, Contents and Pull requests, and nothing else.

an opened pull request can move the card to Review.

An admin turns it on in Settings → General. Drafts wait until they are marked ready. Cards already in Review, Done or Canceled are left alone, and each move shows in the card’s activity.
