Let visitors leave comments and reactions on your website via GitHub! Heavily inspired by [utterances][utterances]. - [Open source][repo]. 🌏 - No tracking, no ads, always free. 📡 🚫 - No database needed. All data is stored in GitHub Discussions. :octocat: - Supports [custom themes][creating-custom-themes]! 🌗 - Supports [multiple languages][multiple-languages]. 🌐 - [Extensively configurable][advanced-usage]. 🔧 - Automatically fetches new comments and edits from GitHub. 🔃 - [Can be self-hosted][self-hosting]! 🤳 Note giscus is still under active development. GitHub is also still actively developing Discussions and its API. Thus, some features of giscus may break or change over time. How it works When giscus loads, the [GitHub Discussions search API][search-api] is used to find the Discussion associated with the page based on a chosen mapping (URL, pathname , , etc.). If a matching discussion cannot be found, the giscus bot will automatically create a discussion the first time someone leaves a comment or reaction. To comment, visitors must authorize the [giscus app][giscus-app] to [post on their behalf][authorization] using the GitHub OAuth flow. Alternatively, visitors can comment on the GitHub Discussion directly. You can moderate the comments on GitHub.
