When there is a build error, for example on a PR, there will be a message added by Netlify with a link to logs.
I’d like to have the error shown directly in Github. Is it possible?
hi there AoDev, just making sure i understand correctly - if your site has a build error, you want that shown directly on github. where are you thinking you might see it? 
Imagine, there was an error. It would show up here.
Reason: devs can not see logs of private repos unless they are added to the team in Netlify.
ah! i see what you mean.
after a little digging i found this thread:
which implies that you can actually do this already for failed builds. I am not quite sure how, but it seems possible!
Doing this does not show the error. It displays a link to the logs. So it’s not possible to know what’s the issue unless you have access to the log. Then, it is not possible for a dev to access the logs of a private repo unless given access to Netlify.
The github comment looks like this
Still looking for a solution to get the error displayed outside of netlify.
Hey there, @AoDev 
So sorry about the delay here! I talked to our relevant teams and while I have determined that this isn’t possible today, I have filed a feature request on your behalf with our Product team. Thanks again for sharing your ideas with us-- this is what makes Netlify a better product, so we truly appreciate it.
