Git AutoReview Now Supports GitHub

GitHub Support is Here

We're excited to announce that Git AutoReview now supports GitHub alongside Bitbucket. Whether you're using GitHub Cloud or GitHub Enterprise, you can now get AI-powered code reviews with Claude, Gemini, or GPT.

What this means for you:

• Works with both public and private repositories

How to Set Up GitHub

Setting up GitHub takes 2 minutes:

Step 1: Create a Personal Access Token

1. Go to GitHub Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens
2. Click "Generate new token (classic)" or "Fine-grained token"
3. Select these permissions:
   • repo — Full repository access
   • read:org — Read organization membership (if using org repos)

Step 2: Add Token to Git AutoReview

Open VS Code Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P) and run:

Git AutoReview: Open Settings

Add your GitHub token in the GitHub section.

Step 3: Add Your Repository

Add a GitHub repository to your settings:

{
  "type": "github",
  "owner": "your-username-or-org",
  "repo": "your-repo-name"
}

For GitHub Enterprise:

{
  "type": "github",
  "owner": "your-org",
  "repo": "your-repo",
  "baseUrl": "https://github.your-company.com/api/v3"
}

Step 4: Review Your First PR

1. Open the Git AutoReview panel
2. Select a GitHub Pull Request
3. Click Review
4. Approve or reject AI suggestions
5. Click Publish to post comments to GitHub

That's it! Your AI code review workflow now works on GitHub.
