Application

GitHub and AI assistants

GitHub hosts source code, pull requests, and issues. AI connections typically begin with repository search and file reads. Write capabilities such as opening issues or commenting are usually scoped separately, and organization administrators can often restrict which repositories a connection may reach.

Quick answer

GitHub has 3 documentation-verified connections across the AI assistants Connector Scout tracks (ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini), out of 3 records on this page. Compare the records rather than the logos: the same application can be read-only on one assistant and able to create records on another, and each assistant grants permissions separately.
