Ingest GitHub into Graphlit

Connect GitHub repositories to Graphlit so code, documentation, commits, issues, and pull requests become searchable context for developer agents and engineering knowledge bases.

What gets ingested

Graphlit reads the selected GitHub surfaces, converts the source material into searchable content, and keeps enough source metadata for grounded answers, retrieval, and downstream agent workflows.

What Graphlit prepares

The integration is not just a connector. Graphlit turns GitHub into content that can be searched, cited, summarized, enriched with observations, and supplied to agents through the Graphlit API and MCP.

Use cases

What you can build with GitHub

01

Build a GitHub knowledge base from repository files and source code and rEADME and documentation and search it alongside the rest of your Graphlit content.

02

Ask grounded questions over GitHub context without forcing users to leave the tools where the work originally happened.

03

Extract people, organizations, projects, events, facts, and decisions from GitHub content so agents can reason over durable context.

04

Combine GitHub with Slack, Jira, and Linear to build cross-tool RAG, research, and operational intelligence workflows.
