GitHub

Connect GitHub to Nordvec: what it imports, how to filter searches by it, and how to connect. Developer tools.

External assistants

These open a third-party AI service outside the EU. The link passes it this page's address, and anything you ask there is processed by that provider under its own terms.

Imports issues, pull requests with their comments and reviews, releases and Markdown documentation from your GitHub repositories.

What it imports

Nordvec imports these from GitHub: issues, pull requests, comments, code reviews, release notes, README and Markdown files, and attachments.

Nordvec checks GitHub for changes on a schedule, and a document deleted in GitHub is removed at the next check.

Filtering searches by GitHub

Documents synced from GitHub carry these source_provider values. Pass one to /documents/search to restrict results to this connector:

  • github
curl https://nordvec.com/api/v1/documents/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NORDVEC_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "quarterly report", "sourceProvider": "github"}'

Connecting GitHub

Connect GitHub from Connectors in Nordvec. The connector reads with the account of the person who connects it. Documents from GitHub are private to the person who connected it until that person shares them. An API key reads only what is shared with the workspace, so it finds these documents once their owner shares them. Documents are stored in the EU; every processor that touches them is published with its jurisdiction and transfer basis at /subprocessors.
