Better project work starts with less friction.
Guides, comparisons, docs and field notes on making GitHub Issues easier to scan, faster to shape, and safer to share with the agents building alongside you.
Guides
All guidesA Claude Code workflow for GitHub issues
A working loop for running GitHub issues through Claude Code: pick an issue, hand it over, let the agent update status, review. With gh, MCP or Gitsu.
Connect Claude Code to GitHub Projects with MCP
Set up an MCP server so Claude Code or Cursor can read and update your GitHub Projects board: GitHub's official server, Gitsu's, and what each can do.
GitHub project board examples you can rebuild
Five GitHub Projects board setups (solo, sprint, OSS triage, bug tracker, roadmap) with the fields, views, filters and workflows to rebuild each one.
GitHub Projects filter syntax: every qualifier
Every filter qualifier GitHub Projects supports, with OR, NOT, ranges, @me and @current, ten copy-paste views, and where the docs are unclear.
GitHub Projects iterations: set up and run sprints
Create a GitHub Projects iteration field, set lengths and breaks, find the current iteration, roll unfinished work over and filter by sprint.
GitHub Projects roadmap view: a complete setup
Set up the GitHub Projects roadmap layout: date and iteration fields, zoom, markers, milestones and grouping, plus what the roadmap cannot do.
GitHub Projects v2 GraphQL API: a working guide
Read and write GitHub Projects with the v2 GraphQL API: token scopes, project ids, paginated items and field values, field writes, adding items, sub-issues.
GitHub sub-issues: create, track and automate
Create GitHub sub-issues, track progress in Projects, group and filter by parent, know the limits, hide sub-issues in views and use the API mutations.
Linear's free plan and its 250-issue limit
What Linear's 250-issue free-plan limit is, what happens when you reach it, and what archiving, paying or moving to GitHub Issues each cost.
Moving from Linear to GitHub Issues
A practical Linear to GitHub Issues migration: map teams, cycles, labels and priorities, export and import, what you lose, and running both.
Comparisons
All comparisonsGitHub Projects client: Gitsu vs GitHub's own UI
Gitsu is a desktop and web client for GitHub Projects: what it adds over github.com, what it lacks, and the audit that counts both.
GitHub Projects tools compared, Gitsu included
GitHub's own UI, Zenhub, Linear with GitHub sync, Plane and Gitsu, compared on price, where your work lives and who each tool suits.
Linear vs GitHub Issues: where should work live?
Linear keeps work in its own fast planning tool; GitHub keeps it by the code. How to choose, Linear's free-tier limit, and the cost of running both.
Zenhub alternatives: Gitsu compared with Zenhub
Zenhub sells sprints, roadmaps and burndowns per user. Gitsu is a faster GitHub Projects client billed per account. Where each wins, with prices.
Features
All featuresClaude Code next to your kanban board: agent runs
Run Claude Code, Codex or Gemini beside a GitHub Projects kanban board in the Gitsu desktop app. Each run works in a local clone and writes nothing to GitHub.
GitHub Issues as your system of record
Gitsu stores no issues. It edits your GitHub Projects boards through the GitHub API, so GitHub stays the system of record and your team changes nothing.
GitHub Projects desktop app for macOS: Gitsu
Gitsu for macOS: a GitHub Projects v2 client with a fixed keymap, an agent panel and an MCP server. It comes with Pro; the free plan is the Web App.
Let an AI agent update GitHub issues safely
How Gitsu limits what a coding agent can change on your GitHub board: a grant switch, a write budget tied to the agent process, and no destructive tools.
The Gitsu MCP server for GitHub Projects v2
gitsu-mcp gives Claude Code, Codex and other MCP clients twelve tools over a GitHub Projects v2 board: three that read and nine that write.
Docs
All docsGetting started with the Gitsu Web App
Sign in to the Gitsu Web App with GitHub, pick the GitHub Projects boards to import, and add more boards later from the project switcher.
GitHub Projects keyboard shortcuts
GitHub's own Projects shortcuts, then every keyboard shortcut in Gitsu, grouped by where it works: anywhere, the project view, an open issue and the composer.
