Open Viro

    GitHub

    Connect GitHub and Viro can list your repositories, find and read your issues and pull requests, and file issues or add comments after you confirm. Viro doesn't read your code.

    What can Viro do with GitHub?

    • List the repositories you've allowed
    • Show the open issues and pull requests assigned to you, created by you, or mentioning you
    • Show everything in one repository, or search issues by words
    • Read an issue or pull request, with its description, labels, and newest 20 comments
    • File a new issue in a repository
    • Comment on an issue or pull request

    Viro can't:

    • Read your code, or a pull request's changed files and reviews
    • Close, reopen, edit, label, or assign issues
    • Create or merge pull requests

    How do I connect GitHub?

    1. Open Customize > Connectors

      Select Customize in the sidebar, then Connectors.

    2. Open GitHub and select Connect to Viro

      On GitHub's screen, install the Viro AI Connect app and choose which repositories it can use.

    3. Check that it's connected

      Back in Viro, GitHub is listed under Yours.

    What can I ask?

    Once it's connected, just ask in any chat. For example:

    • "What issues are assigned to me?"
    • "Is there already an issue about the login timeout?"
    • "Summarize pull request #42 in the web repo."
    • "File an issue in web: the login button overlaps on iPad."

    Does Viro post to GitHub without asking?

    No. Viro shows a card with exactly what it will do, marked Needs your OK. Nothing changes until you select the card's button: Create issue or Post comment. Select Edit to change the wording first, or Cancel to drop it. Issues and comments are posted as you. If the repository is public, the card warns that anyone on the internet can read what you post.

    If the card says This needs one more permission on your GitHub connection, select Allow and approve the request. That happens once, the first time you make a change.

    Can Viro close an issue?

    No. Viro can't close or reopen GitHub issues, and adding a comment doesn't change an issue's status. Close it on GitHub.

    Why can't Viro see a repository?

    Viro only sees the repositories you allowed when you installed the app. Disconnect, connect again, and select more repositories. Viro can't file issues in archived repositories or ones with issues turned off.

    Can Viro show GitHub, Linear, and Jira issues together?

    Yes. If you also connect Linear or Jira, Viro lists your issues from all of them together and labels where each one came from. A list shows up to 50 items, most recently updated first.

    How do I disconnect GitHub?

    In Customize > Connectors, open GitHub and select Disconnect. This deletes the connection Viro stored. Your past chats aren't deleted. The Viro AI Connect app stays installed on GitHub until you remove it in your GitHub settings under Applications.

    Is my GitHub data private?

    Viro reads your GitHub data only to answer what you ask. It's never used to train AI models, and Viro never sells your data.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can Viro read my code?

    No. Viro reads repositories, issues, pull requests, and comments, not your code.

    Can Viro file a GitHub issue for me?

    Yes. Viro shows the issue on a card first, and it's filed when you select Create issue.
