Github

Overview

The GitHub source supports both Full Refresh and Incremental syncs. You can choose if this connector will copy only the new or updated data, or all rows in the tables and columns you set up for replication, every time a sync is run.

This Github source wraps the Singer Github Tap.

Output schema

Several output streams are available from this source (commits, issues, pull_requests, etc.) For a comprehensive output schema look at the Singer tap schema files.

Features

Feature Supported?
Full Refresh Sync Yes
Incremental - Append Sync yes
Replicate Incremental Deletes No
SSL connection Yes

Performance considerations

The Github connector should not run into Github API limitations under normal usage. Please create an issue if you see any rate limit issues that are not automatically retried successfully.

Getting started

Requirements

  • Github Account
  • Github Personal Access Token.

Setup guide

Log into Github and then generate a personal access token.

We recommend creating a restricted key specifically for Airbyte access. This will allow you to control which resources Airbyte should be able to access.
