GitHub Error Tracking Integration

GitHub + Honeybadger

Auto-create GitHub issues from errors, link backtraces to source code, and sync resolution status—all without leaving your workflow.

From errors to issues

Honeybadger's GitHub issues include everything your team and AI assistants need to fix errors quickly.

Automatically create issues

When an application error occurs, Honeybadger automatically creates a new issue in your GitHub repository.

Error resolved? Issue closed!

When you resolve an error in Honeybadger, we close the issue in GitHub. If the same error happens again, we'll reopen it for you.

You're in control

Use search filters to customize which errors become GitHub issues. You can also create or link existing issues directly in Honeybadger's UI.

One-click to code

Honeybadger backtraces link directly to the code in your GitHub repository to speed up troubleshooting.

Honeybadger even links popular open source and vendor dependencies to known GitHub repositories and versions.

Edit in context

Edit your code directly on GitHub. Once you commit the fix, Honeybadger automatically resolves the error on the next deploy.

"We've looked at a lot of error management systems. Honeybadger is head and shoulders above the rest and somehow gets better with every new release."
