Turn the GitHub integration into a GitHub App
in progress
Patryk Zawadzki
The current integration uses the account of the person that enabled it so in our organization it looks like I'm personally writing a comment under each new pull request. It's also impossible to tell if a task was closed by me or by a ClickUp automation.
Please build a proper GitHub App and use your own App account to perform synchronization tasks.

Would also love if the github integration/app didn't have incredibly invasive permissions. We opted for a custom integration via webhooks, flask app, and CU API. Not as clean of a solution but one that protects our repos' privacy.

We are currently digging into improving the Github integration. There are a lot of things to improve, and this is at the top of the list.

Wanted to add to what's been said before. Using a personal account to comment on the Github tickets effectively makes Github useless for that particular person since their automated comments become indistinguishable from real ones.
If you are looking at using Clickup with Github. I would advise looking for another product as the integration is very immature in that respect!

This issue is one of the major factors in my decision to not pursue ClickUp at this time.

Integrate more than one GitHub account

We would like to be able to integrate more than one GitHub account per user. Currently our workflow does not fit with ClickUp. We use a shared GitHub account with the reviewed code and use single accounts where we fork the repos of the shared account to develop and commit new code. To implement this workflow we needed to be able to integrate not just our single accounts.

Is there any update on this? The current ClickUp GitHub "integration" is not ideal, is confusing and very spammy for the individual (myself) that configured the integration. IMO, this should prioritized by the ClickUp team (initial request was Nov 2020!).

I second what Pouria said. This makes the integration very painful and for my CTO who owns the account, very very noisy from github.
In my opinion this isn't a feature. This is a bug as it's a poor feature without it.

Proper GitHub App instead of relying on personal tokens

Patryk Zawadzki
Currently GitHub Integration relies on a personal OAuth token with offline access. That person needs to be given write permission to all repositories and has to be the one configuring the integration. What is worse, all comments posted by ClickUp are also made on behalf of that person and it causes the person to be immediately subscribed to all threads. Please rewrite the integration to use a GitHub App instead: https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/getting-started-with-apps/differences-between-github-apps-and-oauth-apps

The fact that it's not an app makes the Github integration with Clickup useless for anyone in an organization
