GitHub Integration: Connect Your Repository

BuildInPublic allows you to connect your GitHub repository to your project, automatically fetching and displaying repository information.

What GitHub Integration Offers

When you add a GitHub URL to your project settings, the following data is automatically fetched:

• Stars - Repository popularity
• Forks - Number of derivative projects
• Issues - Open issue count
• Language - Primary programming language
• Latest Commit - Last commit date and message

How to Set Up

1. Open your project edit page
2. Enter the repository URL in the "GitHub URL" field
3. Save - data will be fetched automatically

Supported formats:

• https://github.com/owner/repo
• github.com/owner/repo
• owner/repo

Important: Public Repositories Only

This feature uses GitHub's public API. Therefore, it only works with public repositories.

Private repository information cannot be fetched. (GitHub OAuth integration may be added in the future)

No GitHub Authentication Required

You don't need to sign in with a GitHub account to use this feature. Even if you're logged in with email or Google, GitHub integration is available.

Simply add a GitHub URL to your project, and you're good to go.
