# Triagic + GitHub: ticket investigations over your repositories, read-only

> GitHub in Triagic: Browse repositories, issues, and pull requests, read-only. Read-only, with a credential you configure.

Source: https://triagic.com/integrations/github

## What you can ask

- In GitHub, which merged change touched the export job in the last two weeks?
- Find the GitHub pull request that introduced the 240 MB file limit
- Is there an open GitHub issue for the OOM on large CSV imports? Link it.
- Who last changed migrations/0142.sql in GitHub, and was it reviewed?
- List GitHub deploy keys and outside collaborators on the private repositories

## What the agent can do

Every tool the GitHub server annotates as read-only. GitHub's official server runs in GITHUB_READ_ONLY mode, so no issue, pull request, branch or file write is registered.

## Connect in three steps

1. **Mint a read-only credential in GitHub.** Create a dedicated user or token that can only read. GitHub's official server runs in GITHUB_READ_ONLY mode, so no issue, pull request, branch or file write is registered.
2. **Add it in the Triagic portal.** Integrations, then Add shared data source, then GitHub. Fill in: Personal access token (required): Fine-grained PAT with read-only repo/issues scopes. A classic PAT or a GitHub App installation token also goes in this field. GitHub's REST API accepts all three as the same bearer credential.
3. **Let a desktop pick it up.** Saving validates the shape of what you typed. The first desktop app to sync starts GitHub locally and reports running or degraded with the error text.

## Read-only, by construction

GitHub's official server runs in GITHUB_READ_ONLY mode, so no issue, pull request, branch or file write is registered.

## FAQ

**Can Triagic change anything in GitHub?**
No. GitHub's official server runs in GITHUB_READ_ONLY mode, so no issue, pull request, branch or file write is registered. Give it a read-only credential as well, so the guarantee does not rest on one layer.

**What do I need to connect GitHub?**
Personal access token. The desktop app on a member's machine starts the connection; the portal never holds a live process.

**Does GitHub cost extra?**
No. Every connector is included in the seat price. Start a 14-day trial without a card.
