CodeCrab uses GitHub CLI (gh) to list pull requests, read diffs and read review comments. It only reads from GitHub: it never posts, approves or merges for you.
When you need it
- Your repositories are hosted on github.com.
- You want to review teammate PRs from Assigned to Me.
- You want to investigate feedback on your own PRs in My PRs.
