GitHub Connector

Access knowledge from your GitHub Repositories

How it works

The GitHub Connector indexes Pull Requests and Issues from your specified repositories.

It will:

• Index both Open and Closed PRs, including the Title and Summary
• Index both Open and Closed Issues, along with their comments
• Include metadata such as:
  • URL
  • Creator
  • And more

Setting up

Authorization

This connector uses a GitHub Access Token.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to GitHub.
2. In the upper-right corner, click your profile avatar and select Settings.
3. Scroll down to Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Tokens (classic).
4. Click Generate new token.
5. Grant repo access so the token can access PRs and Issues.
6. Set an expiration time.

   ⚠️ Once the token expires, you must generate a new one and update it in Hymalaia to keep indexing up-to-date.

Indexing

1. Go to the Admin Dashboard.
2. Select Add Connector and click on the GitHub tile.
3. Provide:
   • The GitHub Access Token
   • The repository URL (e.g., https://github.com/hymalaia-dot-app/hymalaia)
   • An optional name for your credentials
4. Click Create Connector.

Hymalaia will automatically begin indexing your GitHub repository.

Example repo: https://github.com/hymalaia-dot-app/hymalaia
