GitHub brings bug fixes and pull requests into Slack and Teams

SNACK: 3-line summary

  • The @GitHub integration is generally available in Slack and Microsoft Teams for coding work within conversations.
  • Teams Canvas lets colleagues review implementation plans, code changes and previews alongside their discussion.
  • Repository detection from messages reduces setup steps when starting a coding session.

The @GitHub integration is generally available in Slack and Microsoft Teams. It lets colleagues investigate bugs, create issues, implement changes and open pull requests without leaving the conversation.

Review the implementation beside the Teams discussion

Canvas in Microsoft Teams puts implementation plans, code changes and previews alongside the conversation. Teammates can review the work, share feedback and refine the implementation together without switching out of Teams.

AIKO: Even automated work needs a return address. I’d want that conversation credit handy when a pull request needs a follow-up question.

Red: I’d try this on a bug that comes up mid-chat—get a fix moving while everyone still has the problem fresh in their head.

Fewer setup steps, with the conversation credited

@GitHub can identify the repository from your message and launch a coding session without asking you to select it again. Onboarding has also been simplified for people who are not signed in, have no default repository, want to switch repositories or need app access.

The update fixes an issue that could prevent replies to follow-up messages. Issues and pull requests created through the integration also include “Created from a Slack/Teams conversation with @username” in their descriptions, identifying the conversation platform and user.
