GitHub Links for Confluence brings your GitHub work directly into your Confluence pages. Embed live GitHub content - pull requests, issues, commits, files, branches, and more - so your documentation always reflects what is happening in your repositories.
With Engineering Reporting, the app now also renders team-level GitHub delivery metrics live on your pages: PR Cycle Time, PR Throughput, and Review Latency. Whether you are writing runbooks, planning docs, or a quarterly engineering review, you can now show both the work and the delivery signals in one place - without leaving Confluence.
Reporting is included in the app at your standard subscription, reuses your existing GitHub connection, and stores no code or PR data.
