What is GitHub?

GitHub is the most common home for Watchfire repos. The branch-and-worktree model treats it like any other git remote, but a few Watchfire features speak GitHub specifically.

GitHub + Watchfire

  • Optional auto-PR adapter — when a task completes, open a pull request against your default branch instead of merging directly.
  • GitHub webhook handler — when a PR is merged upstream, the corresponding Watchfire task is automatically marked done.
  • Edit-on-GitHub deep links in the docs and a public badge embed for project READMEs.
