How does it work?

When giscus loads, it uses the GitHub Discussions search API to find the discussion associated with the page. If it can't find a match, the giscus bot creates one when someone leaves a comment or reaction. Visitors can comment by authorizing the giscus app or directly on the GitHub Discussion. You can moderate comments on GitHub.
