Copy Github project data to Coda

Copying data from your Github project to a Coda table has never been easier with this automation Say goodbye to manual data transfers and hello to seamless integration between these platforms. 

This automation simplifies your workflow by effortlessly extracting and syncing relevant information from Github to your Coda tables. No more wasting time on tedious copy-pasting or worrying about data inconsistencies. 

Whether you're managing project tasks, tracking bug reports, or collaborating with your team, this automation ensures that your Github data is automatically reflected in your Coda workspace. Keep your project documentation up-to-date, streamline your development process, and eliminate the headache of manual data entry. 

Let’s set it up!

Step 1: Create a Coda table

The first step is to create a Coda table with the Github project information you want to save.

Bardeen will extract information from the currently opened Github Project like links, stars, contributors, forks, license and more. It will then save all this information to your Coda table once the setup is complete.

Step 2: Install the extension and run the playbook

You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Coda.

Click the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to get this automation saved to your Playbooks. 

Activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and click on the playbook card. The setup flow will start. 

You will be asked to specify the Coda table you created in Step #1. After you choose the database, you will get a prompt to map the information to the fields in Coda.

The left side consists of all the fields Bardeen will scrape for you. On the right side, specify the fields in Coda that you want to associate with the information on the left. If you don’t want a piece of information, leave that field empty, and it will be skipped. That’s it!

Click on “Save Input” and checkmark Coda. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook.
