GitHub Integration

Overview

Connect GitHub so Dume can work with your repos, branches, issues, and pull requests from chat.

The specific action list below (create branches, merge PRs, manage security alerts, and so on) reflects what this integration is built to support. Some of these actions are still rolling out; if something in the list doesn’t work yet when you try it, that’s why, not a bug on your end.

1. Connect (OAuth)

Open Integrations

Settings → Integrations → GitHub.

Authenticate

Click Connect GitHub and approve scopes (repo, workflow, org).

Select Scope

Choose orgs / repos to expose (start small).

Test

Ask: “List my open pull requests.”

Revoke anytime in GitHub → Settings → Applications.

2. Capabilities

Repos & branches

Create/list repos, fork, create/list branches.

Files & content

View, create, update, delete files; push multiple changes.

Issues & sub-issues

Search/create/update issues, comments, manage sub-issues, assign Copilot.

Pull requests & reviews

Create/update PRs, diffs, files, status, request/submit reviews, merge, update branch.

Discussions

List/create/fetch discussions, categories, comments.

Gists

List, create, update personal gists.

Notifications

List, detail, mark read, dismiss, manage subscriptions.

CI / workflows

List workflows/runs/jobs, run/rerun/cancel, artifacts, logs, usage.

Security & quality

Code scanning, secret scanning, Dependabot, advisories (repo/org/global).

Releases & tags

List releases/tags, latest release, release by tag.

Search & discovery

Search code, issues, PRs, repos, users, orgs.

Teams & org

List teams, members, get profile (me).

Advanced

Request Copilot review, structured automation actions.

Write actions can prompt for confirmation before execution.

3. Quick commands

List my open pull requests
Create branch feature/refactor-auth from main
Create issue: Improve onboarding flow (labels: enhancement, ux)
Add comment to issue 42: Clarify acceptance criteria
Request review on PR 87
Show diff for PR 87
Merge PR 87 after checks pass
Search code for "retryPolicy" in backend repo
Run workflow "Deploy" on main
List failed workflow runs today
List Dependabot alerts in api-service
Describe code scanning alerts for security-service
List discussions in platform repo
Create discussion: Release Planning Q1
List my notifications
Mark all notifications read
Push updated README and CHANGELOG to main

4. Common patterns

Create issue: Payment timeout bug (labels: bug, high-priority)
Add sub-issue under issue 55: Investigate gateway logs
Reprioritize sub-issue 55.2 to High
Search issues: label=security state=open

Create pull request: feature/cleanup → main title "Refactor caching layer"
Request Copilot review for PR 103
Add comment to pending review: Consider extracting helper
Submit pending review approving with summary
Merge PR 103

List code scanning alerts in auth-service
List secret scanning alerts in infra repo
List Dependabot alerts severity=high
Get global security advisories about OpenSSL

List workflows in infra
Run workflow Deploy with ref=main
Rerun failed jobs for run 8921
Cancel workflow run 9002
Get workflow run logs 9100

Create branch hotfix/session-leak from main
Get file contents src/auth/session.ts
Update file src/auth/session.ts with patch
Delete file docs/old-architecture.md

Search repositories "analytics"
Search pull requests author:alice state=open
Search code "featureFlag" in web-frontend

5. Best practices

Goal	Tip
Clean PRs	Small focused branches + clear titles
Fast reviews	Provide context & tests before requesting
Issue clarity	Use labels + consistent templates
Security hygiene	Triage new alerts daily
Workflow efficiency	Retry only failed jobs, not entire runs
Branch discipline	Delete merged branches regularly
Noise reduction	Dismiss obsolete notifications in bulk
Traceability	Link issues, PRs, discussions, releases

6. Troubleshooting

Issue	Fix
Missing repo	Expand scope or verify access rights
Permission denied	Reconnect with required scopes / org approval
PR merge blocked	Check required checks / branch protection
File update failed	Verify branch exists & latest commit base
Workflow run not found	Confirm workflow file path & branch
Empty search	Broaden keywords or remove filters
Security alerts missing	Ensure security scanning enabled in repo
Notifications stale	Refresh after marking read

7. Security

OAuth tokens only; revocable anytime
Scoped access (org/repo granularity)
No persistent code storage; processed transiently
Confirmation prompts for destructive actions (delete, merge, cancel)

8. Sample flow

Search issues label=bug in payments
Create branch fix/payment-retry from main
Get file contents src/payments/retry.ts
Update file with improved exponential backoff
Create pull request fix/payment-retry → main title "Fix payment retry logic"
Request review on PR
Run workflow Tests
Merge PR after checks pass
List Dependabot alerts (ensure none new)
