GitHub Sync Deep Dive

One of Devlog.ist's core features is automatic GitHub synchronization. Here's how it works under the hood.

What Gets Synced

Commits

Every commit you push is captured with:

• Commit message
• Repository name
• Files changed
• Diff content (for AI context)
• Timestamp

Pull Requests

We track your PRs including:

• Title and description
• Review status
• Merge information
• Associated commits

Code Reviews

Your review contributions:

• Comments you've left
• Approval/request changes
• Review threads

Sync Modes

Manual Sync

Auto Sync (Pro Feature)

Configure automatic synchronization:

• Daily: Sync every day at your preferred time
• Weekly: Sync once a week

// Auto-sync runs via scheduled command
Schedule::command('posts:auto-sync')
    ->daily()
    ->onOneServer();

Date Range Selection

Choose how far back to sync:

• Last 7 days (default)
• Last 30 days
• Custom range (Annual/Lifetime plans)

Technical Implementation

We use GitHub's GraphQL API for efficient data fetching:

query {
  user(login: $username) {
    contributionsCollection(from: $from, to: $to) {
      commitContributionsByRepository {
        repository { name }
        contributions { occurredAt }
      }
    }
  }
}

Privacy First

• We only access repositories you authorize
• Data is stored in your isolated tenant schema
• You can disconnect GitHub anytime
