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:

  1. Integrate your GitHub account with BrowserStack.
  2. Report bugs to GitHub while testing on BrowserStack.
  3. Manage your GitHub integration
