pr-summary-github-action

This GitHub Action summarizes commit messages from a pull request (PR) and posts the summary to Notion. It can be configured to integrate with other services such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Linear for enhanced processing and output management.

! IMPORTANT

• This action works only with pull requests.
• When checking out the code, make sure to use the fetch-depth: 0 option. Check example below. Read more

Linear

When using Linear, you need to create a view from which the tasks will be pulled from. In the future we will allow more customization of the task/issue management tool query parameters for fetching issues.

Notion

! IMPORTANT

• To post to a Notion database, please allow your API integration access to the database. Read more
• One of the properties of the database needs to have an ID of Title.
