What you are seeing
I cannot find the GitHub macro in Capable's macro list, the command palette, or the automation "Insert macro" action.
#Why it happens
The macro is deliberately marked as hidden from Capable's own listings.
#What to do
Insert it from Confluence's native macro browser by searching for "Github file (Capable)", from the "Github" page byline, or simply by pasting a GitHub file link into the editor.
#Settings involved
Setting | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
There is no GitHub settings screen | Nowhere | The git capability declares no global settings tab and no space settings tab, so GitHub contributes nothing to Capable global settings or space settings. There is also no admin "connect the site to GitHub" screen, becaus |
Hide GitHub across the whole site | App property `capable-global-hidden-capabilities`, object name `hiddenCapabilities`, value | Hides the capability tenant-wide. IMPORTANT: this gates the BYLINE ONLY. The macro module has no display conditions, so hiding the capability does not stop existing GitHub macros from rendering on pages. |
Turn GitHub on or off per space | Space property `<APP_HASH>_capable`, object name `capabilities.alwaysOff` / `capabilities. | AlwaysOff suppresses the byline in that space; alwaysOn shows it even on pages with no GitHub macro. Again, byline only. Macros still render. |
#Limits that apply here
Limit | Value | What happens |
|---|---|---|
Auto-convert: only two hosts | - | Github.com blob links and raw.githubusercontent.com links only. Directory (tree/) links, gists and GitHub Enterprise hosts do not convert. |
