GitHub Integration

Connect Codegen to your GitHub repositories to enable agents to read code, create branches, commit changes, open pull requests, comment on issues, and more.

​

Capabilities

Our GitHub integration grants Codegen agents both read and write access, allowing them to function like a member of your development team:

• Read Access: Clone repositories, read file contents, inspect branches, view issues and PRs.
• Write Access: Create branches, push commits, open/update pull requests, comment on PRs and issues, assign reviewers.

​

How Agents Use GitHub

Agents leverage the GitHub integration to:

• Understand Context: Read code and related issues/PRs to grasp the task requirements.
• Implement Changes: Create branches and commit code directly based on your prompts.
• Request Reviews: Open pull requests and automatically request reviews from specified team members.
• Report Progress: Comment on related issues or PRs with updates, results, or requests for clarification.
