Using GitHub with Nalvin

Overview

Nalvin connects product work with engineering by understanding what’s happening in your GitHub repositories. From summarizing pull requests to drafting release notes, Nalvin makes sure code activity is always linked back to your product context.

Use-Cases

Pull Request Summaries
Nalvin reads open or merged PRs and explains what changed in plain language.

Commit Insights
Track commits tied to specific features or fixes and connect them back to tickets or feedback.

Release Notes
Generate clean release notes directly from merged PRs, ready to share with customers or publish internally.

Cross-Tool Context
See how GitHub activity connects with Jira or Linear tickets, so PMs always know which code changes relate to product work.

Answer Questions
Ask Nalvin things like “What shipped last week?” or “Which PRs are linked to the new onboarding flow?” and get direct answers.

How It Works

The GitHub integration gives Nalvin read access to pull requests, commits, and metadata across your repositories. With that information, Nalvin can:

  • Pull the full text and file changes from PRs and commits

  • Summarize technical changes in everyday language for product managers

  • Identify related tickets or feedback based on references in commits or PR descriptions

  • Post updates in Slack or Teams when new PRs are merged

  • Draft documentation, changelogs, or release notes from GitHub history

  • Comment on PRs with summaries, context, or links back to product requirements

Nalvin doesn’t just surface code activity, it connects it back to product priorities so teams stay aligned without manual chasing.
