Link GitHub to ClickUp Tasks Automatically

Would Click-Up consider linking ALL Github tasks automatically as that would really support our tech team as we could have our PM team work inside your system and the tech team remain with what they are comfortable with in Github. (Submitted via Intercom)

+1 from me as well. I want ClickUp to set a task which is already associated to the GH branch to become, say, "in review" when the new PR is linked for that branch, and to "closed" when the PR is merged. For now, I should use the "When PR is linked" action, but this implies inserting CU task id in the PR, which is too "manual" to be an automation.

To chime in on this... here's how I phrased my workflow to the support team:
"...here's what I'd like to do:
- Create a new feature branch from within ClickUp, associated with a task
- Link any number of other tasks to that branch as well
- Do some work on that branch and push it
- ClickUp sees that commit, and automatically moves all associated tasks to Review status
Seems like I can do everything except the last step... but currently, to affect a status change, I have to manually copy and paste each task ID+status into my commit message (i.e. #1abc2de[closed]). This kinda defeats the purpose of the linked branch, at least in our workflow"

+1 to this one. Here's a use case: As a product manager, I want to build and plan my product roadmap within ClickUp. There are future looking items that may not include developer tasks that exist within GitHub. There are also near-term product roadmap items that exist as top level tasks and sub-tasks within ClickUp and are directly associated to
Issues
within GitHub. I would like to have an automated solution that associates Issues from Github to tasks and subtasks in ClickUp.If there are GitHub issues that are created, I would hope that the automation picks them up and collects them into a 'backlog' that needs human intervention to prioritize/design/etc.
I'm happy to meet with the ClickUp team to discuss this use case further.

Todd Valentine: I'm working on the exact same thing for my team. Until now, we've managed feature requests as GitHub issues, which is OK but has some real limitations when it comes to grooming an overall backlog or managing tasks that aren't specific to a particular code repo. I ended up writing a CLI to migrate GH issues to GU task through their respective APIs, but would love it if the integration with GH were more fully supported.
