GitHub

GitHub shows up in stndp two ways — through your local gh CLI (nothing to connect) and through the GitHub App (server-side enrichment). They're complementary.

Local gh — nothing to connect

If you have the authenticated GitHub CLI installed, the stn CLI uses it directly — no integration needed:

  • stn resume shows the PRs awaiting your review, and resolves linked GitHub PRs to their live title and state.
  • stn brag adds the PRs you reviewed and the commits you authored in the period.
  • stn checkpoint --github attaches your review queue and recent activity to a checkpoint.

This runs entirely on your machine via gh; nothing about your repos is sent to stndp unless you link or capture it.

The GitHub App — server-side enrichment

A team admin can install the GitHub App from Dashboard → Integrations → connect GitHub. The App lets the server enrich PR and issue links with their live title and state for the whole team — not just for whoever happens to have gh installed — and best-effort maps the installing user's GitHub login to their stndp account so webhook actors resolve to real people.

The install is keyed on the GitHub installation id and is idempotent: re-installing updates the same connection. Enrichment uses the App's own credentials, so it keeps working regardless of any individual's local setup. (If the App isn't configured on your server, the dashboard simply notes that GitHub uses your local gh instead.)

Linking PRs to your work

stn link 7 https://github.com/org/repo/pull/42 --type entry
stn link 12 https://github.com/org/repo/pull/99 --type decision

Attach a PR to an entry, checkpoint, or decision and the graph shows its live state next to the work. See Brag, export & graph and Inbound webhooks for CI-driven automation.
