Why

GitHub Links for Confluence

Paste a GitHub URL into Confluence and it renders live - source code files, READMEs, and repository content update automatically. Syntax highlighting is preserved, and it works with private repos.

Who It's For

The moment you copy code from GitHub into a Confluence page, it's stale. When the code changes (and it will), nobody updates the Confluence page. Technical docs become unreliable, and teams stop trusting them.

The Problem

Engineering teams writing technical documentation, developer experience (DevEx) teams maintaining internal portals, and technical writers embedding code in Confluence. Any team where Confluence pages reference GitHub code - API docs, architecture docs, onboarding guides, design reviews.

How We Solve It

Engineering teams writing technical documentation, developer experience (DevEx) teams maintaining internal portals, and technical writers embedding code in Confluence. Any team where Confluence pages reference GitHub code - API docs, architecture docs, onboarding guides, design reviews.

Key Differentiators:

Outcomes Customers Report

  • Technical docs stay accurate without manual maintenance
  • Teams trust Confluence as the source of truth for code documentation
  • Faster onboarding - new engineers see real code, not stale screenshots
  • Design reviews reference live code, not outdated copies
  • Security is a top priority
