Hyper for GitHub
Search your GitHub issues and pull requests, and manage repositories, issues, pull requests, and projects, as you.
Try asking Hyper
- “Which pull requests are waiting for my review?”
- “Summarize the discussion in the issue about the sign-in bug, and suggest next steps.”
How Hyper works with GitHub
What Hyper reads
Hyper keeps a searchable copy of the issues and pull requests in each repository where the Hyper GitHub app is installed, if you own it, work on it, or are a member of its organization. It copies open, closed, and merged ones, from all time. For each one, it copies the title, description, link, reviews, and every comment and review comment, with their authors. It does not copy labels, status, assignees, code, or commits. Hyper gets most changes within minutes, and also checks about every 10 minutes. When you ask, Hyper can also read anything else that the Hyper app can see in those repositories, such as code, commits, branches, releases, Actions runs, discussions, and projects.
What Hyper can do
Create, change, close, transfer, and delete issues. Open, review, approve, and merge pull requests. Add and change comments, labels, and milestones. Create and delete branches, and commit files from your computer to a branch. Create and archive repositories, and change their settings and branch rules. Manage projects and discussions. Hyper can do only what the Hyper app is allowed to do in each repository. Hyper cannot delete repositories, create releases or gists, or manage webhooks or Actions secrets. Hyper asks you before each action, unless you chose to always allow that kind of action. It always asks before it commits files from your computer.
Before you connect
Hyper can read everything that the Hyper app can see, including private repositories. Everything that Hyper does shows your name, and GitHub notifies the people who are assigned, mentioned, asked to review, or who watch the repository. A deleted issue is gone for good. A merge or a commit goes into the branch at once and can start Actions workflows. Your organization owner must approve the Hyper app before it can see the organization's repositories. Anyone who can write an issue, pull request, or comment, including people outside your team on a public repository, can add text that hides instructions that try to trick an assistant, so check each change before you approve it.
