Connect GitHub so Coworker can see what your engineering team is shipping. Either credential works on its own: individual GitHub connections, an organization-wide connection, or both. Most workspaces end up with both.
What Coworker can do with GitHub
Index repositories, pull requests, commits, reviews and issues
Produce a daily engineering digest per repository: what shipped, what is in review, who did the work, and notable PR discussion. Quiet repos produce nothing.
Read code and PR context on demand during Deep Work, and take supported write actions when a task requires it
Deliver real-time updates through webhooks
Repositories become Document entities and contributors become Person entities, so the same human is one node across GitHub, Slack, Drive and your CRM. Private repo content is never visible beyond the people GitHub says can see it.
Before you start
Individual connections need an active GitHub account
The organization connection needs a GitHub org owner to install the app or issue a token
Connect as an admin
Open Data Sources from the admin settings in Coworker and select GitHub.
Recommended: choose the GitHub App installation. Install the Coworker app on your organization and pick the repositories it may read. Coworker signs in as that installation using short-lived tokens it mints itself — nothing long-lived is stored, and the repository selection stays visible and revocable in GitHub's own UI.
Alternative: paste a classic organization personal access token. It is quicker, but it carries one person's identity and expires on its own schedule.
Save.
Connect as a member
Go to the Work page and click Data Sources.
Select GitHub and complete the OAuth authorization.
Optionally enable webhooks for real-time updates.
Good to know
Neither credential is mandatory. Individual connections index perfectly well — they simply see what your people see. The workspace credential covers organization repositories nobody has personally connected.
Pull requests, commits and issues stay in the raw store and power the activity reports rather than becoming graph entities.
