💬 Integration Tip
Ensure the GITHUB_TOKEN has minimal required scopes like 'repo' to enhance security, and use environment variables for easy configuration in local development environments.
Interact with GitHub using the `gh` CLI. Use `gh issue`, `gh pr`, `gh run`, and `gh api` for issues, PRs, CI runs, and advanced queries.
Query the DeepWiki MCP server for GitHub repository documentation, wiki structure, and AI-powered questions.
Automated GitHub PR code review with diff analysis, lint integration, and structured reports. Use when reviewing pull requests, checking for security issues,...
Essential Git commands and workflows for version control, branching, and collaboration.
Advanced git operations beyond add/commit/push. Use when rebasing, bisecting bugs, using worktrees for parallel development, recovering with reflog, managing subtrees/submodules, resolving merge conflicts, cherry-picking across branches, or working with monorepos.
Format commit messages using the Conventional Commits specification. Use when creating commits, writing commit messages, or when the user mentions commits, git commits, or commit messages. Ensures commits follow the standard format for automated tooling, changelog generation, and semantic versioning.
