GitHub Apps: /install-github-app

---

Claude Code integrates directly with GitHub through GitHub Apps, and setting it up is straightforward with the /install-github-app command.

Once installed, Claude can work with your GitHub repositories in powerful ways. It can read pull requests, understand the context of changes, post review comments, and even create new PRs. This brings the automated code review workflow we just discussed directly into your GitHub workflow.

The integration is secure - you control which repositories Claude can access, and it uses GitHub's standard authentication mechanisms. You're not giving away the keys to the kingdom, you're adding a helpful team member who can assist with code reviews, help close issues, and keep your development process moving.

The /install-github-app command walks you through the setup process. Once it's done, Claude becomes part of your GitHub team.
