GitHub

GitHub is a web-based Git repository hosting service. It offers all of the distributed revision control and source code management (SCM) functionality of Git as well as adding its own features.

Flow XO provides a number of triggers and actions to help automate your project flow. Since GitHub is all about collaboration, and monitoring new activity, you'll notice Flow XO supports a lot of triggers:

New Branch
New Collaborator
New Commit
New Event
New Gist
New Issue
New Label
New Milestone
New Notification
New Pull Request
New Repository
New Watcher

The actions you can perform in your Flow XO flow are:

Create a Pull Request
Create an Issue

Connecting your Account

Connecting your account is easy - you'll just need to click 'Authorize' in the Flow XO 'Authorize the Service' window when setting up your flow action for the first time, then sign in to your GitHub account in the window that appears (if you're not already signed in) with your normal GitHub account email address and password, then confirm you're happy to connect. You'll be returned to the flow and GitHub will be connected to Flow XO.
