GitHub Issues for Obsidian

An Obsidian plugin that integrates with GitHub to track issues and pull requests directly in your vault.

The configurations are heavily inspired by https://github.com/schaier-io, including some specific settings. However, I had already started working on my prototype before I discovered the plugin, and had initially even given it a similar name.

✨ Features

• Track issues and pull requests from specific GitHub repositories
• Automatically sync GitHub data on Obsidian startup (configurable)
• Filter tracked items by assignee and reviewers
• Create Markdown notes for each issue or pull request
