Zight + Github Integration

Show, don't tell
in Github.

Q: How do I add Zight captures to GitHub?

Paste the share link into any issue, pull request, or comment — GitHub needs no plugin for that. Capture with Zight's Mac, Windows, or Chrome app first.

Q: How does Zight improve pull requests?

Reviewers see the change instead of imagining it. Add a short video of the UI update or an annotated screenshot of what the code change does, and the review starts from shared understanding.

Q: Do open-source contributors need Zight accounts to view my links?

No. Anyone reading the issue can play the recording in their browser — maintainers, drive-by contributors, everyone.

Q: Can Zight help with bug reports in GitHub issues?

Very much. Record the bug happening, with the exact steps to reproduce it on screen. You can also send a request link to a user so they can record the bug on their machine without installing anything.

Capture, annotate, and share visuals to speed up code reviews and improve team collaboration.
