Connect GitHub and Linear
A check-in on its own is a claim. GitHub and Linear are what turn it into a sourced report, because Eodly can put the claim next to the merged pull request or the moved issue and show you whether they agree.
Skip either if you do not use it. The report still works, it just has less to check against.
GitHub
- Click Connect GitHub on your dashboard.
- Install the Eodly app and choose the repositories it may read.
- Eodly backfills roughly the last 10 days of commits, pull requests, and issues, so your first report is not empty.
Only the repositories you grant are visible to Eodly. If a teammate is committing in a repo you did not select, that work never reaches Eodly and they will look quiet while actually shipping. Grant every repo the team actively works in, and when you spin up a new one, open Connect GitHub again and add it.
To attribute commits to the right person, set each teammate's GitHub username on the Team page. A GitHub handle can only credit one person, so make sure two people do not share one.
Linear
- Click Connect Linear on your dashboard.
- Authorize your workspace. Eodly requests read access only.
- As with GitHub, Eodly backfills roughly the last 10 days of issues.
Set each teammate's Linear user on the Team page so issue movement attributes correctly.
What Eodly does with this
For each check-in claim, Eodly looks for corroborating evidence in the window around it:
- a merged pull request or pushed commits
- an issue moved to a done or in-review state
- a live link, or a screenshot read by AI vision
When the claim and the evidence agree, nothing is flagged. When someone has said "almost done" for three days and nothing has moved, the report shows the two side by side and lets you judge. See Reading your evening report.
What Eodly never does
It reads the repositories and workspaces you explicitly grant. It does not read private messages, it does not log keystrokes, and it does not capture screens. Ever. The full list of what is ingested is on What Eodly reads.
