GitHub monitoring
GitHub monitoring for the issues and pull requests that mention you
Developers report problems, and ask for something else, in issues, often in repositories that aren't yours. Sniffington searches issues and pull requests in public repositories for your keywords and leaves out the dependency bots.
GitHub monitoring with Sniffington, in short
Sniffington monitors GitHub by searching the titles and bodies of public issues and pull requests, newest first, for your brand's keywords and domain, and leaving out pull requests opened by dependency bots. An AI check then keeps the posts that are really about you and sorts them into categories such as Question, Bug report and Comparison.
What it finds
- Bug reports and integration problems filed in projects that use yours
- Pull requests that switch to your product, or away from it
- Issues asking how to do something your docs should cover
- Requests that name a competitor
How it works on GitHub
- We search issue and pull request titles and bodies in public repositories for your keywords, newest first, back to the start of your scan window.
- Pull requests opened by bots such as Dependabot and Renovate are left out, so a version bump of your package never buries a real report.
- A keyword is searched as a quoted phrase, and an ambiguous name is searched together with an anchor word, as on the other platforms.
Limits to know about
- GitHub is checked daily on every plan, and its searches never count against your plan's allowance.
- Alerts arrive by email, in Slack through a webhook URL, or in Discord, with the urgency you choose.
- Public posts only. Nothing private or closed is searched.
- A reply goes out only when you approve it, from an account you connected. Nothing is posted on its own.
- GitHub search covers the titles and bodies of issues and pull requests in public repositories. Issue comments, Discussions and code are not searched.
Questions
Is GitHub monitoring on the free plan?
Yes, on every plan, and GitHub searches never count against your plan's allowance. Free checks it daily.
Do I need a GitHub account?
No. Sniffington reads public posts. Add your own GitHub handle to the brand so your own posts stay out of the feed.
What happens to posts that aren't about me?
The AI reads every post against one sentence about what you make. Posts about something else that shares your name go to Ruled out, each with a note saying why, one click from coming back.
Does Sniffington search GitHub Discussions, comments or code?
No. It searches the titles and bodies of public issues and pull requests. Discussions, comments on an issue and the code itself are not searched.
Will dependency bumps flood my feed?
No. Pull requests opened by bots such as Dependabot and Renovate are left out of the search.
Will it post or reply for me?
Only when you approve it. It drafts a reply; you edit it and press Post to send it from an account you connected, or copy it and post it yourself. Nothing goes out on its own.
