PR Chat

The PR Chat feature allows you to ask questions and get AI-powered responses based on the content of your pull request, within your GitHub environment.

It uses the PR's code changes, description, and commits to build a rich context for the conversation.

How to use PR Chat

PR Chat is available directly in the Files changed tab after installing the Qodo Merge Chrome extension.

After installation, open at least one new PR to initialize access. You'll then be able to chat on both new and existing PRs.

Privacy

All conversations are private and visible only to you.

PR Chat supports both public and private repositories.

For private repos, make sure Qodo Merge is installed in your GitHub organization.

Context-aware PR Chat

Qodo Merge constructs a dynamic context for each PR that includes:

• Code changes

• PR description

• Commit messages

• Additional PR metadata

This context enables the AI to generate more accurate and relevant responses to user queries.

Toolbar Extension

The Chrome extension adds a toolbar to the GitHub UI, allowing you to:

• Interactively test and configure Qodo Merge tools

• Experiment with different settings

• For private repos, export the configuration to apply it automatically via commands or config files

Qodo Merge filters

The extension adds a side panel in the Conversation tab where you can filter messages by type:

• Show only Qodo Merge messages

• Hide Qodo Merge messages

• Focus on user-only messages

This helps in reviewing PR discussions more effectively.

Enhanced code suggestions

The Chrome extension improves usability for the code suggestions feature by:

• Automatically expanding clipped code blocks for full visibility

• Adding a "Quote & Reply" button to suggestion comments for targeted follow-ups or review feedback
