What permissions does Gitar need?
Read and write access to issues in your Linear workspace, so Gitar can read issue details, create issues, and comment on your behalf.Can I use Linear alongside Jira, Plane, or YouTrack?
Connect as many ticket trackers as you use. A bare key likePROJ-123 looks identical across all four, so Gitar attributes it by precedence: Jira first, then Linear, then Plane, then YouTrack. An org running two trackers never resolves a bare key to the second one.
