Report bugs using Github integration
The BrowserStack GitHub integration allows you to easily file bugs while you are testing your web app on the BrowserStack platform. Our integration automatically adds all the metadata about the platform you are testing on, including:
- Browser and Browser Version
- OS and OS Version
- Device
- Screen Resolution
We additionally allow you to annotate screenshots and file this in GitHub.
This guide will help you:
- Integrate your GitHub account with BrowserStack.
- Report bugs to GitHub while testing on BrowserStack.
- Manage your GitHub integration

Manage your GitHub Integration
You can easily manage your GitHub integration by going to the Integrations page available in the Account section.
The Integrations page will be your central place to manage your different integrations. If you are using a bug filing tool which we do not support currently, you can suggest the same in the Suggestion Box available at the bottom of the Integrations page.
