# GitHub Integration

GitHub is a Git-based source control and automation platform for hosting repositories, managing pull requests, and running GitHub Actions workflows.

### How AI SRE supports GitHub <a href="#how-ai-sre-supports-github" id="how-ai-sre-supports-github"></a>

AI SRE supports GitHub through two mechanisms. It ingests pull requests as a change source and receives alert webhooks that create or update incidents.

* **Pull request ingestion:** AI SRE polls GitHub for pull request activity and records merged pull requests as changes for the [Deploy Change Investigator](/ai-sre/ai-sre-for-administrators/set-up-change-management/deploy-change-investigator.md).
* **Build and deploy webhooks:** GitHub Actions workflows POST build and deploy events to AI SRE as change data.
* **Alert webhooks:** GitHub POSTs alerts to an AI SRE webhook URL, which creates or updates incidents.

### Set up GitHub <a href="#set-up-github" id="set-up-github"></a>

Configure GitHub as a change source and alert webhook with the following steps:

* Go to [GitHub change source](/ai-sre/ai-sre-for-administrators/set-up-change-management/sources/github.md) to configure pull request ingestion.
* Go to [GitHub Actions change source](/ai-sre/ai-sre-for-administrators/set-up-change-management/sources/github-actions.md) to send build and deploy webhooks from GitHub Actions workflows.
* Go to [GitHub alert webhook](/ai-sre/ai-sre-for-administrators/set-up-alert-management/webhooks/integration-guides/cicd/github.md) to forward GitHub alerts as incidents.

### Next steps <a href="#next-steps" id="next-steps"></a>

* Go to [GitLab Integration](/ai-sre/ai-sre-for-administrators/set-up-integration-management/cicd-change/gitlab.md) to send build and deploy webhooks and forward alerts.
* Go to [Bitbucket Integration](/ai-sre/ai-sre-for-administrators/set-up-integration-management/cicd-change/bitbucket.md) to ingest pull requests from Bitbucket Cloud.
* Go to [Integration Management](/ai-sre/ai-sre-for-administrators/set-up-integration-management/index.md) to review all AI SRE integrations.
