We know how frustrating it can be to chase down the right issues and their associated PRs. That’s why we’re excited to announce our latest integration with Linear. This integration embeds Linear directly within the Graphite web app, so developers can view, link, and create issues from their pull requests (PRs) directly from Graphite.
Why this matters
This integration is all about keeping context and focus. As longtime users of Linear ourselves, we deeply understand the power of being able to manage issues without losing focus. Developers on Graphite no longer need to switch between the two tools, which reduces distractions and keeps their workflows uninterrupted.
This integration will also help with both larger ongoing projects and bug reporting. Bigger projects often involve multiple changes occurring concurrently, and it’s important to be able to track progress at any stage. Additionally, effective bug reporting plays a large part in maintaining software quality, and by tracking bug reports directly on PRs, the integration will make sure that every fix has the right context.
With this new integration, users can also expect:
Unified issue tracking: You can see all associated Linear issues directly in the PR sidebar within Graphite. This unified view keeps your work organized and accessible at a glance.
Efficient bug reporting: By linking bugs to the proper PR, teams can manage fixes and make sure resolutions are methodical and traceable.
Seamless issue management: Create new Linear issues directly in the PR page or link existing issues by searching or pasting a Linear Issue URL.
Get started
Here’s how to get started:
Connect your Linear account: Begin by linking your Linear account via the Connected Accounts settings page in Graphite.

Start streamlining your workflow: Once connected, you can view, link, and create issues directly from your PR pages to start enjoying a more unified experience.
We’re really excited about what this partnership means for Graphite and Linear users alike. As we continue our mission to help speed up the outer loop of development, we think this integration will help teams quickly pinpoint issues, track fixes, and collaborate better to ultimately achieve a more robust, high-quality codebase.
