- Embedded Auth handles Github's OAuth, storage, and refresh for you
- Knit absorbs Github's API changes — nothing breaks on your end
- Extensive webhook support for real-time Github sync
- Your team ships your product, not integration plumbing
- Live in days, not weeks

Easy to integrate. Knit's dashboard is intuitive for setting up and testing integrations, and the sandbox is extremely useful during development.

Knit shipped a brand-new Timesheet API in a week and handed us a ready-to-use NetSuite sandbox. That velocity is priceless when you're running payroll in 40+ countries.

FAQ
Common questions about the Github integration
Does Knit support Github out of the box?
Yes — Github is a live, already-built connector on Knit's Unified Ticketing API, not a roadmap item.
Does the Github integration support both reading and writing data?
Yes. It supports both reads and writes, so you can build bi-directional sync use cases — not just pull data from Github, but push updates back to it.
How does authentication work for Github?
Knit provides an embedded Auth component (white-labeling available on higher tiers) that handles Github's OAuth, credential storage, and refresh — your customers authorize once through Knit, and you never touch raw credentials.
What happens if Github changes their API?
Knit absorbs it. We maintain and update the Github connector on our end, so your integration keeps working without you tracking Github's changelog.
Do you store Github data or customer PII?
No. Knit acts as a stateless passthrough — data is processed on our application server and sent directly to your webhooks, without being stored on Knit's servers.
What is the pricing model, and is there a free trial?
You choose the model that fits your business — pricing based on integrated accounts, or based on API call volume. Every plan includes a 30-day free trial before billing starts.
