Arca App installs statistics

Arca is a project management tool built for developers. This GitHub App connects your repositories directly to your Arca workspace, keeping your issues and tasks in sync without any manual work.

Who it's for

Teams that use GitHub for code and want their project management to stay in sync automatically, without switching context or updating tasks manually.

Capabilities

• Two-way issue sync: GitHub Issues import as Arca tasks automatically. In two-way mode, tasks created in Arca push back as GitHub Issues and edits stay in sync. • Magic word automation: Keywords in commit messages (Fixes SLUG-42, Closes SLUG-42) automatically complete the linked task on push. • Branch name generation: Generate a slug-based branch name from any task (e.g. fix-login-bug-myapp-42) with configurable naming styles. • Live issue link: Tasks linked to a GitHub Issue show a direct link to the issue inside the task view.

Benefits

• No double entry: Issues opened on GitHub appear as tasks in Arca automatically. • Close tasks from code: The right keyword in a commit message is enough to complete a task, no manual updates needed. • One source of truth: Whether work is tracked in Arca or GitHub, both stay in sync.

Getting Started

Requirements:

• Plan: All Arca plans • User Permissions: Workspace Admin or Owner • Availability: Generally available

Setup:

• Install the Arca GitHub App and grant access to your repositories. • In Arca, go to Settings → Integrations → GitHub and click Connect GitHub. • Select a repository, a target list, and your sync direction (GitHub → Arca or Two-way). • Optionally enable Magic Words to close tasks from commit messages.

Example Use Cases

• Open a GitHub Issue → it appears as an Arca task within seconds. • Create a task in Arca → a GitHub Issue is created automatically (two-way mode). • Push Fixes MYAPP-15 in a commit → the task is marked as completed. • Copy myapp-15-fix-auth-redirect from the task menu before branching.
