OpenAI announced on its developer-focused X account this Thursday, May 8, 2025, the launch of a “connector” linking its Deep Research feature with GitHub. This integration allows ChatGPT’s Deep Research tool to “analyze the source code and pull requests of a repository”, and then produce a “detailed report citing its sources”, according to the company.

You can now connect GitHub repos to deep research in ChatGPT.

Deep Research Now Capable of Analyzing Source Code and Technical Documentation

Introduced last February, the Deep Research tool was already capable of analyzing hundreds of online sources to produce, in minutes, a comprehensive and concise report on a topic, a task that would take a human several hours. In the coming weeks, ChatGPT’s Deep Research tool, similar to Perplexity’s tool, will be able to perform this same task using data from a GitHub repository. Developers will thus be able to ask questions directly about the codebase or technical documentation, and receive sourced, accurate, and contextualized answers.

When you connect GitHub to Deep Research, ChatGPT can pull data in real-time from your repositories — code, README files, and other documents — and analyze them instantly. Just connect your repository, ask a question, and Deep Research will read, analyze, and cite relevant excerpts directly from your GitHub content, OpenAI explains.

Delayed Rollout in Europe

Currently in beta, the feature is being progressively rolled out to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team subscribers in several regions. However, its launch has been delayed in Europe, as indicated by OpenAI in a recently published FAQ. No release date has been provided.

GitHub Content Is “Not Used to Improve Models”

According to OpenAI, the content “submitted by customers using professional offerings”, such as Team, Enterprise, or OpenAI’s API, is not by default used for training models, which includes data from a GitHub repository. However, users subscribing to Pro and Plus plans will need to disable the Improve the model for everyone option in the settings if they do not want their content to be utilized.

How to Connect GitHub to ChatGPT’s Deep Research Tool

While the feature is not yet fully deployed, the company has already outlined the activation procedure. As demonstrated in a video published by OpenAI on X, users simply need to check Deep Research in the search bar, click on the dropdown arrow, and then select GitHub. “You will then be redirected to GitHub to install and authorize the ChatGPT connector, and then select the repositories that ChatGPT can access”, the company adds. From there, you can submit queries in the prompt bar.
