GitHub PR Review Automation: Setup and Best Practices
Set up automated GitHub pull request reviews with AI — permissions, workflow tips, and how to combine bots with human review.
GitHub teams often review dozens of pull requests per week. Automating the first review pass helps maintain quality without blocking velocity.
Connecting Codluma to GitHub
Codluma uses a GitHub App with least-privilege permissions to read pull request diffs and post review comments. Setup takes a few minutes per organization or repository.
See the getting started guide for step-by-step GitHub connection instructions.
Best practices for AI + human review
Use AI review for consistency and speed; reserve human reviewers for architecture, product behavior, and domain-specific edge cases.
Tune strictness levels per repository and enable security scanning on services that handle authentication, payments, or customer data.
