PR & GitHub Actions updates, now synced with Linear.

Visibility is the key!

Over the past few months, I’ve been working on a project that solves a small but painful problem for my team: keeping track of DevOps events across GitHub and Linear.

We often missed important updates because they lived in GitHub while our planning and tracking lived in Linear. That disconnect caused delays, confusion, and extra manual work for all our PMs, developers and SREs.

When events started showing up in Linear instantly, everything became easier. It helped us:

• Catch problems right away.
• Work together as one team — PMs, Devs, and SREs all share the same view.
• And since we’re chasing SOC-2 compliance, every event and violation was automatically documented for audits.

What we built

We implemented a Warestack feature that integrates GitHub and Linear. The idea was to be flexible: one team might only need PR updates, another might want GitHub Actions, and others might need to know about protection rule violations. We focused on events like GitHub issues, PRs, deployment reviews, and workflow runs.

Our decision was simple — deliver these updates as comments in the related Linear tickets. And it worked.

A simple example

Say our team opens a pull request without the required reviewers. Normally, this would slip through unnoticed until much later — probably after it caused delays or, worse, a broken release.

With Warestack, the violation is caught right away. The related Linear issue is automatically updated, and both Developers and PMs get instant visibility — no extra work required.

Easy setup

We wanted this to be frictionless. Setup takes just a couple of minutes, 1' to connect, 1' to configure and done.

Getting started

This tutorial walks you through how to:

1. Connect Linear.
2. Configure triggers.
3. Automatically receive DevOps updates (PRs, workflow runs, rule violations) as comments inside your Linear tickets.

👉 You can find the tutorial here.

Step 1: Connect Linear

You only need to do this once.

From the Warestack dashboard, go to Integrations to view available software connections. Click Connect next to Linear to start the installation.

Authorize Warestack in Linear by granting the requested permissions and clicking Authorize.

Once connected, you’ll see a success message confirming Linear is active.

Step 2: Activate Post Actions

Open Post actions from the left menu to configure what happens inside Linear after events are executed.

Choose Linear Integration to create your first post action and start receiving automatic comments in Linear for Warestack events. You can select your preferred combinations of events to send.

Select a team, event type, trigger conditions, and the Linear team that should receive the comments, then save the action. You can also configure additional rule violation triggers (e.g., “PRs must have at least 2 reviewers”). Configured actions will now appear in the Linear card.

Well done! 🎉 Your first trigger is live.

Step 3: Work as Usual

Continue working as you normally would. Warestack runs in the background, checking events and automatically commenting when violations occur.

Check your Linear where updated it your ticket.

Scroll down to view the comments Warestack added. Everything happening in your operational workflows is now documented directly inside your tickets.

Warestack Does Not Stop Here!

• Multiple actions: You can configure multiple Linear post actions per team, repo, or rule.
• Free forever: Linear integration is included in the free plan, so you can try it out with your favorite repository at no cost.
• Multi-channel visibility: Combine with Slack notifications (or Jira) to keep your team in sync everywhere.
• End-to-end associations: Warestack links pull requests → workflow runs → tickets → rule violations, giving you a complete DevOps activity graph inside your project management tool.
