# Connect GitHub: Pull Requests for Posts and Site Fixes > Connect your site's GitHub repo and Revnu opens pull requests for new posts and for site fixes, such as copy, new pages and audit fixes. What access it asks for, how images get in, what you review and merge, and what to do if your site has no code repo. Canonical: https://revnu.com/docs/github-blog-posts Last updated: 2026-10-18 Connect your site's GitHub repo and Revnu sends its changes as pull requests: new blog posts, and fixes to the site itself, such as copy, new pages or a fix from a [site audit](/docs/site-audit). You review each one and merge it when you're happy. Revnu never pushes to your main branch and never merges anything itself. You need a GitHub account that can open pull requests on your site's repo. No repo, because your site is on a site builder? See [My site has no code repo](#my-site-has-no-code-repo). ## Connect your repo ### 1. Find GitHub in Connections Open **Connections** in the dashboard and find **GitHub** under **Learn Your Business**. ![Connections, Learn Your Business group: GitHub, Google Search Console, Notion, Granola and Circleback, each with a Connect button](/docs/screens/connections-learn.webp) ### 2. Sign in to GitHub Press **Connect** and sign in with the GitHub account that has access to the repo. GitHub asks for two permissions. Both are explained [below](#what-access-revnu-asks-for). ### 3. Choose the repo Press **Choose Repo** and pick your site's repo. If the picker says "No repositories found", see [If it doesn't work](#if-it-doesnt-work). ### 4. Tell Revnu what to send as pull requests In chat, for example: > Send each new blog post as a pull request to my repo. > Make a pull request for the robots.txt fix from the audit. ### 5. Review and merge Revnu sends you the pull request link. Review it, ask for changes in chat if you want any, and merge it on GitHub. Your site's normal deploy puts it live. > **Note:** Approving a card in **Review** doesn't open or merge a pull request. A site-fix card from an audit is advice until you ask for the pull request in chat. Merging always happens on GitHub, by you. **What access Revnu asks for** GitHub's sign-in screen asks for two permissions: - **Repositories (`repo`).** Read and write access to the repositories your account can reach, including private ones. GitHub has no narrower option for this kind of app. Revnu works only in the one repo you pick, and only on its own `revnu/` branches. - **Your profile (`read:user`).** Your GitHub name, so Revnu knows whose account it's using. If that's more than you want to grant from your own account, connect a GitHub account that can only see the site's repo. ## How it works 1. Revnu writes and fact-checks a post the same way it writes every post, or works out the site change you asked for. 2. For a post, it reads how your existing posts are stored: which folder they sit in, the file type, and the frontmatter fields at the top of each file. The new post follows the same pattern. 3. It creates a branch named `revnu/` plus the topic, commits only the files the change needs, and opens a pull request that says what changed, why, and how to check it. 4. It sends you the pull request link. The pull request comes from your own GitHub account, since Revnu uses the account you connected. Revnu keeps pull requests small and opens a few at a time, waiting for you to merge before it sends more. For a big change, such as rewriting a whole page, it checks the direction with you before it does the work. **How images get into a post** A hero image Revnu generates is hosted by Revnu, so a post can link to it by its web address rather than add a file to your repo. If your repo keeps images in a folder, say so in chat, for example "put images in public/blog and commit them with the post," and check the first pull request. ## What Revnu sends as pull requests - **Blog posts**, in your repo's format. - **Site copy**, such as a clearer headline on the page that ranks for your name. - **New pages**, such as a landing page or an FAQ. - **Conversion fixes**, such as a broken link on your homepage, an error on your sign-up page, or a fix from a [site audit](/docs/site-audit). - **Ads tracking**, when you ask: the [Revnu Tag](/docs/revnu-tag) and the server call that reports sign-ups ([event API](/docs/event-api)), so ads can be judged on real outcomes. It doesn't build product features, refactor your code or touch internal tooling. Growth from the outside is its job. If your team uses a coding agent, it can review and merge Revnu's pull requests the same way it reviews a person's. ## Rules Revnu follows in your repo - It never pushes to main, not even a force push. - It never merges its own pull requests. - It changes only what the change needs. It doesn't refactor or tidy unrelated code. ## My site has no code repo Site builders such as ChatGPT Sites, Lovable, Framer and Wix keep your site inside the builder, not in a GitHub repo you can connect. Without a repo, Revnu can't edit your site at all. Here's what still works: - **Ask for paste-ready copy.** Say "give me the exact copy changes and where to paste them in my builder." Revnu writes the text and tells you which page and section it goes in. You paste it, or paste it into the builder's own assistant. - **Publish posts on the hosted blog.** Posts don't need a repo. The [Revnu-hosted blog](/docs/hosted-blog) puts them on blog.yourdomain.com. - **Check whether your builder syncs to GitHub.** Some builders, Lovable among them, can sync a project to a GitHub repo. If yours does, connect that repo here. Once you've told Revnu you have no repo, it shouldn't keep asking you to connect one. If it does, say "I have no repo, give me copy to paste." ## Good to know - **Say "merged" in chat** once you've merged and deployed, so Revnu knows the post is live. - **The pull request is the post's record.** Repo posts may not appear in **Visibility > Posts**, which lists hosted and Content API posts. [Search Console](/docs/search-console) is how Revnu sees their clicks. - **To change a merged post**, ask Revnu for a new pull request with the edit. - **Ask for GitHub delivery in chat.** The Posts setup screen offers the [Content API](/docs/content-api) instead. If your site can fetch posts from the Content API, published posts and later edits reach your site without a merge each time. ## If it doesn't work | What you see | What to do | |---|---| | Revnu says it couldn't pull the repo | Reconnect GitHub in **Connections** with the account that has access, and check the chosen repo | | The repo picker says "No repositories found", or your company's repo is missing | You signed in with a GitHub account that can't see it, or your GitHub organisation restricts outside apps. Ask an organisation owner to approve Revnu in the organisation's settings on GitHub, then reconnect. A site builder may have no repo at all: see [My site has no code repo](#my-site-has-no-code-repo) | | The post is in the wrong folder or format | Reply in chat, for example "posts go in content/blog as .mdx", and ask for a new pull request | ## Next step [Get a site audit](/docs/site-audit) ## Frequently asked questions ### Will Revnu push straight to my main branch? Revnu always works on a separate `revnu/` branch and opens a pull request. You decide whether to merge it. ### Is Revnu making a pull request for my site fixes? Yes, when you ask in chat with your repo connected: "make a PR for the fixes from the audit." A fix-list card in Review is advice on its own. Revnu opens the pull request on a `revnu/` branch and sends the link. You review and merge it on GitHub. ### What GitHub access does Revnu ask for? GitHub's `repo` permission, which covers the repositories your account can reach, and `read:user` for your name. Revnu works only in the repo you choose and only on `revnu/` branches. ### Do the posts match the format of my existing posts? Revnu reads your existing post files and follows the same folder, file type and frontmatter. Check the first pull request. If anything is off, tell Revnu the format you want. ### My site is on Lovable or ChatGPT Sites. Can Revnu fix it? Yes. Ask Revnu for the exact copy and where to paste it in your builder, since these builders have no repo for a pull request. Or publish posts on the Revnu-hosted blog. ### How do I connect my repo to Revnu? Go to **Connections > Learn Your Business > GitHub**, press **Connect**, sign in with the GitHub account that has access, then press **Choose Repo**. ### How many pull requests will Revnu open? Usually a few at a time, each small. It waits for you to merge before sending more.
