Description

If one syncs two Github repos to the same team, which repo will a new Linear issue in that team sync back to? It would be helpful if we could (optionally) specify the Linear project that a connection syncs to/from:

  • If a project is set, then Linear issues will only copy to Github if they are part of the team.
  • Vice-versa, Github issues that sync to the team will be auto-attached to the defined project, if a project is set.

Research direction

Start by tracing how a GitHub connection currently maps issues to a Linear team and how bidirectional synchronization is handled. Define the project setting and verify that Linear issues are filtered by team/project while GitHub issues are attached to the selected project when configured.
