Technical Implementation Made Simple

The GitHub Trigger node serves as an event listener for your repositories:

1. Connection Setup: Authenticate n8n with your GitHub account
2. Event Selection: Choose which events trigger your workflow (pushes, pull requests, issues, etc.)
3. Repository Targeting: Specify which repositories to monitor
4. Workflow Design: Build automated processes that execute when events occur

Event Data Utilization

When triggered, the node passes comprehensive event data to your workflow, including:

• Commit details and changed files
• Pull request information and review status
• Issue contents and metadata
• Repository context and user information
