Engineering in GitHub, the team elsewhere
Product and design keep working in Trello, Jira, or Asana while engineering tracks the same work as GitHub issues. Status, assignees, and comments stay aligned.
Two-way sync for GitHub issues
Keep GitHub issues linked with Trello, Jira, GitLab, Asana, Monday, Linear, and Google Sheets. Update either side and the other follows — no copying between tools.

Sync your way — no code, no maintenance
Board Genius keeps your GitHub repo in step with the other board, automatically. Change one, the other follows.
True two-way sync
Edits flow in both directions. Update an issue in GitHub and the linked card or ticket updates. Change status on the other side and the GitHub issue follows. No manual copies, no stale boards.
No code, setup in minutes
Connect your GitHub account, pick a repo, and choose the board to sync. No scripts, webhooks, or custom integrations to maintain.
Stay in control
Use labels and keywords to filter exactly which issues sync. Map GitHub project statuses to the other tool's lists or workflow states. Run one-way for visibility or two-way so both teams can update the work.
What GitHub syncs
One GitHub issue becomes one card, ticket, or row on the other side. You choose which fields stay linked.
GitHub issue- Title
- Description
- Status
- Labels
- Assignee
- Comments
- Milestone
Sync direction is configurable — choose one-way or two-way. GitHub has no due date or priority. Status needs a GitHub project board.
Built for the work your team actually does
Engineering can stay in GitHub. Everyone else can stay in the tool they already use.
GitHub alongside Jira or Linear
Connect a GitHub repo to a Jira project or Linear team. New issues and updates copy across, including labels and comments.
A spreadsheet view of GitHub
Sync a GitHub repo to Google Sheets when stakeholders want a row per issue. The sheet stays current without another export.
Up and running in three steps
Connect GitHub, pick a repo, and sync starts — no scripts or webhooks.
1
Connect GitHub
Sign up for Board Genius and authorize your GitHub account. You use your own login — no organization admin access required.
2
Pick a repo and a board
Choose the GitHub repo to sync and the Trello board, Jira project, Linear team, or other board on the other side.
3
Sync starts automatically
Issues stay linked from that point on. Set filters and status mappings whenever you need to adjust what syncs.
Frequently asked questions
What gets synced from GitHub?
Each GitHub issue maps to one card, ticket, or row on the other side. Synced fields include title, description, status, labels, assignee, comments, and milestone. GitHub has no due date or priority, and status needs a project board. You control which fields are mapped and whether data flows one way or both ways.
Which tools can GitHub sync with?
GitHub syncs with Trello, Jira, GitLab, Asana, Monday, Linear, and Google Sheets. You connect a GitHub repo to one board on the other side.
Do I need to be a GitHub org admin?
No. You authorize Board Genius with your own GitHub account and pick a repo you can access. Organization admin permissions are not required.
How is this different from a Zapier export?
Zapier fires once when a trigger happens and pushes data one way. Board Genius keeps issues linked — update a GitHub issue and the other side updates; change status on the other tool and the GitHub issue updates. It's a maintained connection, not a one-time push.
Can existing GitHub issues sync, or only new ones?
Both. When you first connect a repo, existing issues that match your filters sync across. After that, new issues and updates are picked up automatically.
