Integrating with Github without having to install the Github app

[yanns]

In our company, we're using Github for the source files, and CircleCI for CI/CD.

When I'm pushing to Hive from CircleCI, I set the following parameters:

hive schema:publish \
              --registry.accessToken "$HIVE_REGISTRY_PUSH_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
              --service="<< parameters.service_name >>" \
              --url="<< parameters.graphql_url >>" \
              --author "<< parameters.author >>" \
              --commit "<< parameters.commit >>" \
              << parameters.schema_file >>

The author and the commit hash are pushed.

In the Hive UI, the hash of the commit is deployed in the history, but it's not linked to the change in github.
I see from https://the-guild.dev/graphql/hive/docs/management/projects#github-repository that this is possible, but I assume only if I active the Github integraton with the App.

Is it also possible to have Github integration in the history view in Hive by setting the right parameters manually?

To my knowledge this is currently only possible using the github integration, which is not well suited for distributed graphs.
I'm not sure where it would fall on our priority list, but you do raise a good point and this could be improved.

Is it specifically a link to the git commit that you are looking for with this feature? Are there any other features/use cases you feel are missing with this git integration?

[yanns]

A link to the git commit would be very nice.

If possible, maybe using the metadata, I'd also like to display other information like:

• link to the PR
• link to the CircleCI job
