GitHub App

Install the Thruline GitHub App to get automated reviews on every pull request.

Installation

Install the app

Visit github.com/apps/thruline-context-pr-review-app and click Install. Choose the organization and the repositories you want Thruline to review.

Index the repositories

The app reviews only indexed repositories. Index each one from your editor or through the dashboard. See Your First Index.

Open a pull request

Thruline reviews each pull request automatically and posts its findings. See PR Reviews for what it checks and how results appear.

Multiple repositories

Install the app at the organization level to cover every repository, or per-repository for granular control. Each repository is indexed independently, with its own domains, conventions, and (if set) index cutoff date. All of your connected repositories roll up into the dashboard.

Permissions

The Thruline GitHub App requests:

Pull requests (read & write): to read pull request metadata and post review comments.
Checks (read & write): to create status checks on commits.
Contents (read): to read file contents and commit history for analysis.

The app does not index repositories on its own. Index a repository first from your editor or the dashboard. Once it's indexed, pull request reviews run automatically.

Removing the app

Uninstalling is done from GitHub's installation settings for the organization or repository. Removing a repository from the Thruline dashboard does not uninstall the app, and uninstalling the app does not delete a repository's index — the two are managed separately.
