Git Helpers for Basecamp - Link Basecamp to-do's and GitHub PR's

Frequently asked questions

How does Git Helpers work?

When you log into Git Helpers and select a Basecamp organization, you'll be prompted to connect your GitHub account.

Then, click Connect a Repo to connect a specific GitHub repo to a Basecamp project.

Anyone on your team can then link a Basecamp to-do to a GitHub PR by:

Pasting a link to the GitHub PR in the Basecamp to-do description
Pasting a link to the Baecamp to-do to the GitHub PR description

Once a Basecamp to-do and GitHub PR are linked, Git Helpers will:

Comment on the to-do when the PR is drafted, opened, closed, or merged
(If you select this option when linking the repo and project) Auto-close the to-do when the PR is merged

To unlink a PR, comment /unlink in the Basecamp to-do. At that point, the to-do and PR cannot be relinked.

How can the rest of my team access Git Helpers?

Anyone in your Basecamp organization can log into Git Helpers at https://githelpers.com/ using their Basecamp account. From there, they can link Basecamp projects and GitHub repos. They can only see the projects and repos they personally have access to, and won't be able to see connections that others set up.

If you become a paid subscriber, everyone in your Basecamp organization is covered by the single subscription fee of $12/month or $96/year (equivalent to $8/month).

How do you keep Git Helpers secure?

Git Helpers accesses only the data on Basecamp and GitHub that it needs to function. Git Helpers does not have access to your code on GitHub. Credentials stored in Git Helpers are encrypted.

All actions that Git Helpers takes on to-do's and PR's are performed as the user who connected the Basecamp project and GitHub repo. No one can create actions that target a Basecamp project or GitHub repo that they do not have access to.
