Trello GitHub Integration for Card-to-Code Tracking

Link Trello cards to GitHub commits and pull requests so your team always knows what shipped and when.

The trello github integration closes the gap between your project board and your codebase. With trello github sync, cards update automatically based on real GitHub events. Neotask connects card-to-code tracking so every stakeholder sees accurate, real-time status.

Card-to-Code Visibility

See every GitHub commit and PR linked to a Trello card without leaving your board.

Automated Status Updates

Trello cards move automatically when pull requests are opened, reviewed, or merged in GitHub.

Branch-Per-Card Workflow

The trello github connector creates GitHub branches named after your Trello cards for clean git history.

What You Can Automate

Move Cards When Pull Requests Are Merged

A Trello card advances to Done automatically when its linked GitHub PR is merged.

Create GitHub Issues From Trello Bug Cards

Bug cards added to a specific Trello list instantly become GitHub issues in the right repository.

Display Commit Count on Trello Cards

A card attachment shows how many commits reference its ID so PMs track development progress.

Assign GitHub Reviewers Based on Trello Members

When a PR is created, Neotask requests review from the GitHub user matching the Trello card member.

Archive Trello Cards for Closed GitHub Issues

Cards linked to GitHub issues are archived in Trello automatically when the issue closes.

Post PR Review Comments Back to Trello

GitHub code review comments are forwarded to the linked Trello card for non-technical stakeholders.

Why Teams Use the Trello GitHub Integration

Development teams manage work in two places: Trello for planning and GitHub for building. Without a trello github integration, those two systems drift apart within days.

Key Advantages

Card movement triggered by PR open, approve, merge, or close events
Automatic GitHub issue creation from Trello feature and bug cards
Branch name generation using Trello card IDs and titles
PR-to-card linking via commit message conventions
Reviewer assignment based on Trello card membership
Deployment status labels added to cards when GitHub Actions complete

Card to Code Tracking in Practice

With trello github sync, a card named 'Fix login timeout' becomes branch fix/login-timeout-[card-id], generates a GitHub issue, and moves to In Progress the moment a commit references it.

Try Asking Neotask

When a PR referencing Trello card [card ID] is merged, move the card to [list name].
Create a GitHub issue in [repo name] whenever a card is added to my [list name] list.
Add the PR link as a Trello card attachment when a pull request is opened for [repo name].
Assign [GitHub username] as PR reviewer when the Trello card is assigned to [Trello member].
Move Trello card [card name] to [list] when the GitHub issue [issue number] is closed.
Post a comment on Trello card [card ID] whenever a commit is pushed to branch [branch name].

Pro Tips

Tip
