Quickstart: turn an issue into a pull request

Describe a change, mention devlo, and get a pull request back.

Before you begin: connect GitHub. To start from a GitHub issue, you need write access to the repository. To start from Jira or Slack, an owner or admin connects it first under Settings > Integrations.

1. Describe a small, well-defined change and mention devlo.

   GitHub issue

   Mention @devloai, in lowercase, in a new issue’s description or in a comment.

   J

   janeopened this issue

   Add a /health endpoint that returns {"status":"ok"}. @devloai

   Jira

   Mention @Devlo and name the repository with repo:<name>. See Jira.

   J

   jane

   @Devlo repo:api add a /health endpoint that returns {"status":"ok"}

   Slack

   Mention @devlo in a channel or direct message. See Slack.

   J

   jane

   @devlo add a /health endpoint to acme/api that returns {"status":"ok"}

2. devlo acknowledges the request and posts a status that it updates as it works. For non-trivial work, it may post a plan first. To approve, mention devlo again with go ahead, or say what to change.

3. devlo creates a branch, makes the change, runs checks, and opens a pull request. It links the pull request in its reply.

4. Review and merge the pull request; devlo never merges. To ask for changes, comment on it with @devloai; devlo pushes to the same pull request. See Pull requests.

Each run uses credits.

Prefer a chat? Start one on the repository in the devlo app and describe the same change there.
