Connector Improvement: Add extra data to Github like Topics
Answered
I've been looking at the GitHub API, and there's some interesting repo level data that isn't exposed in the Fivetran schema (such as Topics)
Could you look in to extending the schema to include data like Topics?

Neil thanks for recommending this!
Out of curiosity, what analytical use case would you be looking to answer with this data? And what priority would you put this use case at?

Hi Drew.
I was thinking of using the Github Topics to denote some high level information on the repo. For example, it's a legacy service that we should decommission, or if it's serverless etc.
The idea was that we could query the Github tables and see how many repos are "legacy", or what technologies they are using. I could then use this to create an engineering report to identify areas of improvement (for example, how many services need decommissioning)
It's quite a narrow use case, but something I would find useful, so it's not the highest priority of requests!
Thanks,
Neil
