/install-github-app

Installs the Claude GitHub App for a repository, optionally including GitHub Actions workflows and secrets.

Installs the Claude GitHub App for a repository, optionally including GitHub Actions workflows and secrets. Walks you through repo selection and configuration.

✅ WHEN TO USE IT?

Set up automated PR checks or CI integration

Run /install-github-app in a team repository to enable Claude for automated PR workflows via GitHub Actions.

Prepare repo access for later Claude automations

For a new project, walk through /install-github-app including repo selection and secrets so workflows like /autofix-pr can work.

⛔ WHEN NOT TO?

Working purely locally, without GitHub integration

/install-github-app sets up a connection to GitHub including optional Actions and secrets — unnecessary overhead if PRs or CI will never run through GitHub.

Better: Keep working locally with Git and skip the GitHub app.
