Can GAIA handle monorepos with many packages mapping to different Linear teams?

Yes. GAIA supports path-based routing in monorepos, mapping changes to different directories to different Linear teams so the right team sees activity relevant to their work.

How does GAIA handle hotfix branches that skip normal workflow?

GAIA detects hotfix branches by naming convention and applies expedited status transitions in Linear, moving issues directly from the backlog to deployed status when a hotfix is merged.

Automate Linear + GitHub with GAIA

Keep Linear issues and GitHub PRs perfectly synchronized

Linear and GitHub are the two tools engineering teams rely on most. Linear for planning and tracking, GitHub for writing and reviewing code. When they're not synchronized, the overhead of keeping both current undermines the efficiency gains each tool provides. GAIA makes them work as one unified engineering workflow.

5 things you can automate

Everything GAIA can do when Linear and GitHub are connected.

Bidirectional issue and PR sync

Linear issues and GitHub PRs stay synchronized in both directions. PR events update Linear, and Linear status changes can reflect in GitHub labels, keeping both views current.

Automated cycle tracking

GAIA tracks each issue from Linear creation through GitHub PR open, review, merge, and deployment, giving engineering leads full cycle time data without manual tracking.

Branch creation from Linear

When a Linear issue moves to 'In Progress', GAIA can create the corresponding GitHub branch automatically with the correct naming convention, saving engineers the branch setup step.

Review assignment from Linear metadata

GAIA assigns GitHub PR reviewers based on Linear issue metadata — the team that owns the component, the reviewers listed in the Linear issue, or rotation rules.

Deployment tracking

GitHub deployment events trigger Linear issue status updates to 'Deployed', and GAIA notifies the issue creator and stakeholders that their work is live.

How to set it up

Connect Linear and GitHub to GAIA in three steps.

1
Connect Linear and GitHub to GAIA
Authorize GAIA with your Linear workspace and GitHub organization. Select which teams, projects, and repositories to synchronize.
2
Configure sync rules and conventions
Define your issue-PR linking convention, which Linear states correspond to which GitHub PR states, and any automation rules for review assignment or branch creation.
3
Ship with confidence in both tools
Engineers work in GitHub. Product and engineering leads view progress in Linear. GAIA keeps both accurate automatically.
