GitHub - BoostGPT Documentation

Repositories, issues, pull requests and releases. What actually shipped, so the homepage can stop describing the old version.

Connecting

In the dashboard, open Connectors, find GitHub and press Connect. The key you enter is checked against GitHub before anything is saved, so a key that is refused never becomes a connection that fails later.
