GitHub
You can connect GitHub and Jam in order to instantly create GitHub issues right from Jam's browser extension. Every GitHub issue you create with Jam automatically includes:
Console logs
Fully inspectable network requests
URL, timestamp and country
Device, OS, Browser
Viewport size
Network speed
That way, it's perfect for engineers to help them debug issues faster.
You can configure all the relevant GitHub Issues fields right from Jam – like repository, assignees, labels and more. Our goal is to make you 20x faster at logging bugs to GitHub Issues.
How to use Jam + GitHub
First, you'll need to make sure you have Jam installed in your browser. Follow our Jam getting started guide here if you haven't downloaded and setup Jam yet:
Next, capture your bug with Jam.
