GitHub

Superthread allows you to link pull requests to cards and automatically change the status of a card when the pull request changes.

Simply connect your GitHub account to your Superthread account so you and your team will be instantly able to:

  • See the status of a PR from within a Card.
  • Have Superthread automatically move a Card to a new status when PRs are created or merged.

​
Connect your GitHub account

This only needs to be done once by any member of your team.

Just head to Settings > Integrations > Github.

Currently you can only connect one GitHub account to a workspace.

Once connected, you can use the ‘Copy git branch name’ button in the header of the card. This copies a suggested branch name that includes the card title and card-ID to your clipboard. If you include the card-ID in your branch name, Superthread will automatically create a link between the card and the branch. You can also include the card-ID in the PR title:

  • Branch name (e.g. “ST-123” or “username/ST-123”)
  • Pull request title (e.g. “GitHub Workflow ST-123”)

​
Pull request automation

When a card is linked to a pull request, Superthread can automatically move the card to the appropriate status in your Board when the pull request changes.

This is fully configurable on a per Board basis, across all your Boards and Spaces, meaning you have complete flexibility in how you set up the integration.

Simply head to Settings > Spaces > Boards to configure PR automation for each board.

​
Branch-specific automation

You can add automation rules that target specific branches. These will override the default automation rules you have setup. For example, if a PR is merged to staging, you can move the card to In QA status. However, if a PR is merged to main, then move the card to Deployed status.

​
Viewing PR Status

Once linked, you can see the PR status directly from the card:

  • PR status (open, merged, closed)
  • Branch name
  • Link to the PR on GitHub
  • Latest PR activity
