What does the GitHub Release Tracker do?
This app enables you to tracker releases in GitHub as events in PostHog. This is useful for correlating releases with user behaviour or performance issues, for example.
What are the requirements for this app?
The GitHub Release Tracker requires either PostHog Cloud, or a self-hosted PostHog instance running version 1.30.0 or later.
