Introducing the Fivetran dbt Package for GitHub

Fivetran introduces a new dbt Package for GitHub that helps track the state of code issues and the entire software delivery process. The package uses the Fivetran Github connector to ingest data from the GitHub API, allowing users to join disparate tables for enriching GitHub issues with assignees and time metrics attached to pull requests. This enables organizations to solve common engineering challenges such as disproportionate issue-to-assignee ratios, identifying potential "cliff" timelines for pull requests, high-level pull request completion tracking, and determining average times taken in each stage of a pull request. Fivetran's native GitHub connector simplifies the process by bringing in data about issues, pull requests, and their contextual information in a predefined format, making it easy to start querying the data right away. The dbt package for GitHub can be used as a standalone source or combined with common project tracking software like Jira or Asana to provide insight into the complete software delivery process.
