Pro tip: You can also hold down shift and then press the ← or → keys on your keyboard while the Tasks is open, to quickly switch between your GitHub organizations and any other Tasks integrations/sources that you're connected to.
Adding, editing and deleting issues
You can add and edit your GitHub issues in the same way that you would your Momentum Tasks items.
