      Unito syncs issues from GitHub repositories by linking individual fields from these issues to items in other tools (e.g., Trello cards, Jira issues, ServiceNow records).

      • One-way: Changes in this field can be synced to the tool it’s integrated with, but changes in the other tool can’t be synced back.
      • Two-way: Changes to this field will be synced to the tool it’s integrated with, and changes in the other tool will be synced back.
      • Rules: This field can be used to build rules.

      Additional features

      Unito's GitHub integration also supports the following features:

      • Syncing pull requests: Keep pull requests in sync with equivalent work items in other tools. Note that Unito will never sync or modify code within pull requests. You can't create new pull requests from another tool, but you can keep them in sync with an equivalent work item in another tool.
      • Binary attachments: Unito supports binary copy attachments to and from GitHub Cloud or Server on a per-customer basis. We support all file types outlined here. Want to activate this for your workspace? Reach out us.

      • Prefix task title with issue number: When syncing GitHub to other work management tools, you can have the GitHub issue added as a prefix to the task's title in your other tools.

      • Open-source repositories: You can sync open-source repositories with your other tool of choice.  Assignees will only sync if their email address is present in the other connected tool.
