How to connect a GitHub repository to Taskending

Signing in with GitHub and connecting a project repository are separate actions. Repository access is authorized separately to associate code events with work.

How to apply it

Open Git settings as a company owner or administrator. Choose the GitHub connection flow and review provider permissions. Select a repository you administer and the Taskending project. Supported events arrive through a signed webhook once configured.

A concrete example

Connect the web repository to the Web platform project. A branch or pull request containing WEB-24 helps associate development with the right issue. Document repository-to-project mapping when several repositories are involved.

What to watch for

The current OAuth integration uses broad repo scope. Creating a webhook only in the selected repository does not narrow the token’s provider-level access to that repository. Do not describe it as granular GitHub App access. A linked sign-in account alone may not enable repository events.

How to check the outcome

Verify the selected repository and project, then inspect a real authorized event on its issue. A connected label alone is not end-to-end delivery evidence.

Try it in your own workflow.

Create a company workspace and your first issue. Taskending is currently free.

How to associate Git pushes with issues

A push shows that code reached a repository. Taskending’s connection can associate that event with an issue through its key.

Connect pull requests with issue tracking

A pull request carries code review; an issue carries the need and acceptance outcome. Linking them keeps the reason and implementation connected.

What is a webhook in a Git connection?

A webhook tells an application that an event occurred in another service. It replaces repeated manual checking with event-driven delivery.
