First, let's get your data
Looking to free your GitHub data? Good, you’ve come to the right place.
### Getting connected
1. Select **Connections** from the main menu
2. Click the **New** button
3. Select **GitHub**
4. Give it a name (this is especially useful if you’re creating multiple GitHub connections)
5. Authorise the connection by following the prompts to sign in to your GitHub account
6. Done. Now watch as SyncHub begins [retrieving your historical data](/kb/importingyourhistoricaldata?api=github).
To connect multiple GitHub accounts, simply follow the steps above for each one.
### Available data tables
SyncHub works by regularly querying each endpoint in the GitHub API, checking for new and modified data. For each endpoint, SyncHub produces a corresponding data table in your reporting tool. These are the data tables currently available:
- Branch
- Commit
- Issue
- Issue comment
- Repository
- Label
- Team summary
- User
- Parent commit
- Commit branch
- Issue label
- Issue assignee
Need more data? No problem, please [let us know](https://www.synchub.io/contact) and we'll see if we can add it. Or if you're a data nerd like us, feel free to check out the GitHub API documentation to see what’s available.
### What data does SyncHub take from GitHub?
SyncHub extracts the endpoints above from GitHub, and stores it in your data warehouse.
### What data does SyncHub create or modify in GitHub?
Nothing. SyncHub is read-only and never sends data back to GitHub.
