What it does

Wraps the GitHub CLI (gh) to give CodeBuddy full access to your GitHub repositories. The agent can create issues, open pull requests, trigger workflow runs, manage releases, and search code — all through natural language.

Prerequisites

Install the GitHub CLI and authenticate:

# macOS
brew install gh

# Linux
sudo apt install gh   # Debian/Ubuntu
sudo dnf install gh   # Fedora

# Windows
winget install GitHub.cli

Then log in:

gh auth login

Verify it works:

gh auth status
