GitHub is rapidly becoming the Distributed Software Code Management (DSCM) of choice for software dev teams. While it offers limited, built-in work item tracking capabilities, teams can easily outgrow the feature set. OnTime Scrum provides GitHub integration that allows users to attach change sets to items being tracked in the OnTime system.
With OnTime, it's easy to hook into your team's GitHub repositories and get back to coding and committing. Every time you commit, you add a little bit of item data to the summary, and GitHub will send that data immediately to your OnTime database. From the OnTime app, it's easy to track who committed to items, the amount of work spent on each commit, and even use commits to move items through your workflow.
Integrating your commit data is as easy as a few extra characters in your commit summaries...
...that translate into data and worklogs viewable directly in OnTime
Easy to set up.
For OnTime, all you need to do is generate an API key. You can also import your repository's issues, if you only want to track them in OnTime.
OnTime settings for GitHub
Head to the settings for your repository, and go to Service Hooks. Select OnTime from the list, and enter the URL to your OnTime database, as well as your API key. You're all set!

Import your existing GitHub issues.
OnTime also supports importing your existing GitHub repository issues directly into your OnTime database, to help you get up and running right away.
Issues on your repository
Configure how issues will be added to your database
The same issues, imported into your defect backlog
OnTime is perfect for teams that have outgrown the built-in GitHub issue tracker feature set.
Subversion integration.
OnTime also offers the Tortoise plugin, which offers true integration between your Tortoise Subversion code repository and OnTime. While you and your team are updating files and committing changes using TortoiseSVN, you'll be able to link those files to defects, user stories, or tasks within OnTime. This takes place inside of the Tortoise interface without having to launch OnTime.
OnTime Plugin for TortoiseSVN
TortoiseSVN is a free download for Windows only and works with the OnTime Web server.
