GitHub
Premium OAuth DeveloperTurn a conversation into an issue.
Connect once and "open an issue for this" works from anywhere. Halo files it in the repository you name, with a title and body drawn from what you were just discussing, and asks before anything is created.
This is the first slice of the GitHub integration; deeper help around pull requests and mentions is on our list.
Premium
A paid capability, part of a Halo plan. The free Mac app stays fully featured on its own.
Capabilities
What Halo does with it
With a Halo plan
- Creates issues in any repository you can write to
- Drafts the title and body from your conversation
- Asks before anything is filed
How it connects
You authorize. Your Mac holds the key.
- 01
You authorize once, in your browser
Halo opens GitHub's own sign-in page. You approve exactly what Halo is allowed to do, nothing more.
- 02
The key goes straight to your Mac
The access key is handed to the Halo app and stored in the macOS Keychain, encrypted on your device. It never sits in a browser tab.
- 03
Your Mac talks to GitHub directly
Every request goes from your Mac to GitHub. Halo's servers never sit in the middle. They never see your messages or your content.
What stays private
Your GitHub key lives in the macOS Keychain and requests go from your Mac to GitHub directly. Halo's servers never see your code or your repositories.
