Decide which app to use
GitHub for Slack: Are you on the GitHub Developer, Team, or Business plan? This app is for you!
Github Notifications (Legacy): This app is compatible with GitHub Enterprise .
Note: GitHub has released a new version of the GitHub app for Slack, and will be ending support for the current version in July 2020.

GitHub for Slack
GitHub Notifications (Legacy)
With the GitHub app, you can get link previews in Slack for public repositories, set up notifications with slash commands, and easily stay up-to-date on project activity.
Install the app
Visit slack.github.com and click Add to Slack .
Review the permissions the app needs to access, and click Continue to allow.
Select the channels the app can access: all public channels, specific ones, or none.
After you've installed the app, the GitHub app will send you a direct message to help you complete setup and teach you about the /github slash command.
Tip: Use the slash command /github subscribe owner/repo to subscribe to your previous configurations.
Customize your notifications
The GitHub app makes it easy to customize what gets posted in Slack. You can subscribe to activity that's relevant for the whole channel to see, and unsubscribe from other types that are less helpful. Certain activities will notify you in Slack by default, while some others won't:
Features enabled by default
issues
pulls
statuses
commits
deployments
public
Features not enabled by default
reviews
comments
branches
commits:all
You can use these slash commands to customize your notifications:
/github subscribe owner/repo [feature]
/github unsubscribe owner/repo [feature]
Install the app
Visit GitHub in the Slack App Directory.
Click Install , or Add Configuration if one already exists.
Select a channel where GitHub events will be posted, or click create a new channel to make a brand new one.

In your GitHub account, go to the repository that you'd like to monitor. Click Settings in the top navigation.
Click on Webhooks in the left navigation, then press Add webhook .
