Hello GitHub, We’re Quire

Quire GitHub integration connecting task management with code commits

TL;DR

Quire connects to GitHub so you can track code changes alongside your tasks and trace between the two in one place. Set it up from Quire and Beyond at quire.io/apps: choose GitHub, install it, pick the project, authorize your account, and select the repositories to link. From then on, task tracking and code stay in sync instead of scattered across two tools.

For some of you, it is difficult enough to keep everyone up to date with the tasks at hand. It is even more so when they involve codes. Lots of codes.

But not to worry, Quire has got it covered. With the integration with GitHub, it is easier to stay on top of your team members’ code changes and to refer and trace back between tasks and codes. It's part of the same Quire & Beyond directory that also syncs your tasks with Google Calendar.

Connecting your tools is really a form of automation. McKinsey found that about 30% of the activities in most jobs could be automated, and wiring tasks to the code that fulfills them is one less thing anyone has to sync by hand.

How do I integrate with GitHub?

  1. Go to Quire & Beyond

What does connecting GitHub to Quire get you?

The short answer: one place for tasks and the code behind them.

StepDo this
Open Quire and BeyondGo to quire.io/apps
Choose GitHubSelect the GitHub integration and click Install
Pick a projectChoose which Quire project to connect
Authorize GitHubSign in and grant access to your account
Select repositoriesLink the repos you want tied to the project

Once it is connected, the payoff is traceability. When a task involves code, you can move between the Quire task and the related GitHub activity without hunting through two systems and a chat log to reconstruct what happened. For a team where half the work lives in commits and pull requests, that is the difference between a task list that reflects reality and one that quietly drifts out of date. It also keeps non-engineers in the loop: a project manager can see that the work behind a task is actually moving, without needing to read the code itself. Little integrations like this are how a task tool stops being a separate chore and starts being the place the whole team already looks. And setup is genuinely a few minutes: connect once, pick your repos, and the link quietly does its job from then on, no maintenance required. For a team that ships code, that quiet, always-on link is worth more than a dozen features you have to remember to use.
