The AI-powered Notion and GitHub integration bridges project management and code development. Once connected, GitHub issues, pull requests, and commits sync into Notion databases — giving product and engineering teams a shared view of what is being built, reviewed, and shipped. Setup takes less than a minute.
You need admin access to your Notion workspace and the relevant GitHub organization or repository. The integration syncs metadata only: issue titles, descriptions, labels, PR statuses, and comments. Notion never accesses your source code. Both free and paid tiers on each platform support the connection.

- Find GitHub in the connection list and click Connect.

Why Use Notion with GitHub
- Track issues and pull requests in the same workspace where your product specs, roadmaps, and sprint plans live.
- Give non-technical stakeholders visibility into development progress without requiring a GitHub account.
- Link Notion product requirements directly to GitHub issues so engineers always know the context behind a task.
- Monitor pull request reviews and merge statuses from a Notion dashboard instead of checking GitHub repeatedly.
- Keep a single source of truth for sprint planning by syncing GitHub labels and milestones into Notion properties.
- GitHub is just one of many integrations — see the complete guide to Notion AI integrations for the full list.
How to Use Notion with GitHub Efficiently
- Map GitHub labels to Notion select properties — use the same naming convention so filters work across both platforms.
- Create a Notion sprint board that pulls open GitHub issues as cards, grouped by assignee or priority label.
- Use Notion relations to link GitHub issues to product requirement pages — engineers get context, PMs get status updates.
- Combine GitHub sync with Slack notifications to alert your team in Slack when a Notion-tracked PR is merged.
- Set up a Notion rollup property that counts open issues per repository to monitor backlog health at a glance.
- Archive completed sprints in Notion monthly to keep the synced database fast and focused on active work.
What You Can Do With Notion and GitHub
- Sync issues — every GitHub issue appears as a Notion database entry with title, status, assignee, labels, and a direct link back to GitHub.
- Track pull requests — see open, reviewed, and merged PRs in a Notion table without switching to GitHub.
- Create issues from Notion — add a new entry in your synced database and it creates a GitHub issue in the connected repository.
- Build sprint dashboards — combine Notion board views with GitHub data to run standups directly from Notion.
- Link commits to tasks — reference Notion page URLs in GitHub commit messages and the integration surfaces them as backlinks.
- Monitor repository health — create a Notion dashboard showing open issue counts, PR review times, and merge frequency across all synced repos.
