What is GitHub?
GitHub is a platform for building software across the development lifecycle, from planning and writing code to review, testing, deployment, and operation. It hosts Git repositories and adds tools for collaboration, issues, pull requests, and workflow automation.
How it works with Fortiana
GitHub contributes implementation history: repositories and commits, issues and pull requests, plus comments and review history. Fortiana can use these materials to examine what changed, why it changed, and whether a similar failure appeared before. The connector is about history and discussion, not a full copy of every repository file.
What Fortiana can use
- Repositories and commits
- Issues and pull requests
- Comments and review history
Not included: A full copy of every repository file.
How you can use it
For example, you can ask questions such as:
- Why was the retry limit changed?
Follow the relevant commit, issue, pull request, and review discussion to connect the implementation change with its stated reason. - Did the same failure appear before?
Search earlier issues and review discussions for a comparable failure, keeping the comparison tied to the available technical history. - Which pull request introduced this behavior?
Trace links between repository history and pull requests so the change is tied to a concrete review and discussion.
Before you connect
- Identify the repositories. List the GitHub repositories and issue history needed for the first connection.
- Review authorization. Identify the owner who can confirm access requirements for the repositories and their review discussion.
- Check the need for source files. Distinguish questions about commits and review history from those requiring complete source files outside this scope.
