What it does

What the GitHub export
gives you

Every comment in the issue or PR conversation comes out with its author, time and reaction count. Inline code review comments on a PR aren't included.

  • Issue and pull request conversation comments
  • Reactions as the score, to see what people agree with
  • Exact timestamps
  • GitHub allows 60 unauthenticated requests an hour; the extension tells you if you hit it

FAQ

GitHub export
questions

How do I export GitHub issue comments to CSV?

Open the issue on a public repo, click the CommentGrab widget and choose CSV.

Do I need a GitHub token?

No. It uses the public REST API without one, which GitHub limits to 60 requests an hour per IP.

Are pull request review comments included?

The PR conversation is. Inline code review comments aren't.

Is CommentGrab free for GitHub?

Yes. Every export is free, with no account and no credits. AI analysis is optional and runs on your own OpenAI key.

Does it send my GitHub data anywhere?

No. Exports and saved threads stay in your browser. The only outside service is OpenAI, and only when you start an analysis with your own key.
