GitHub Integration
GitHub is Koalr's primary data source. The OAuth integration pulls PR history, commit metadata, deployment events, and CODEOWNERS files across all repositories in your organization. Koalr uses read-only scopes — it never writes to your repositories or triggers workflows.
What Koalr pulls from GitHub
- PR metadata and diff stats (files changed, additions, deletions, review count)
- Commit history by file path and author
- Deployment events from GitHub Actions and GitHub Deployments API
- CODEOWNERS files per repository
- GitHub Actions CI run status and duration
- Review comments, approvals, and requested-change events
- Branch protection rules and required status checks
