Keep Linear and GitHub updated automatically.
Today it sits in a list or a spreadsheet, and afterwards someone retypes it into the system that actually has to act on it. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Linear lands in GitHub by itself, in the shape GitHub expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

What each side expects
Linear and GitHub do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.

Common questions
Can you connect Linear to GitHub?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Linear and GitHub, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Which GitHub project or list do the tasks land in?
The project or list you choose. That keeps everything in one place rather than scattered, and follow-up does not depend on someone remembering.
Can I decide what goes into the GitHub task or row?
Yes. When setting it up you pick which details from Linear come along, so a task or row in GitHub has just enough context.
From what moment in Linear does something reach GitHub?
As soon as you add or finish the row or task in Linear that you chose as the trigger, it reaches GitHub.
What does connecting Linear and GitHub cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does Linear sync with GitHub?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
What if Linear or GitHub is briefly unavailable?
Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.
How do I connect Linear to GitHub?
You give Schakel access to Linear and GitHub once and pick what should travel. We set it up together with you, so no technical knowledge is needed, and after that it runs by itself.
Missing something you need?
Tell us what Linear and GitHub should do for you. If it is not in here yet, that is usually because nobody has asked. We build on request and we reply within 24 hours.
