Integrate Slack + GitHub in Slack
with Axolo

The GitHub and Slack app is a powerful tool that allows users to bring their code directly into the conversations they care about. By connecting two of the most important workspaces, users can get real-time updates about what’s happening on GitHub without ever having to leave Slack. To get started, users can subscribe to repositories by using the /github subscribe [owner/repo] command in Slack. From there, they can receive updates about new commits, pull requests, issues, code reviews, and deployment statuses.

The app also allows users to share links to GitHub activities and properties like pull requests, issues, linked comments, code snippets, and developer profiles, giving their team more information in Slack. Additionally, users can take actions with slash commands, which make it easier to start on next steps from Slack. Common GitHub actions like closing or reopening an issue or pull request, or opening a new issue using a Slack dialog, can all be done with the /github [action] [resource] command.

Overall, the GitHub and Slack app streamlines workflows and makes collaboration between teams easier and more efficient.
