The GitHub actions pack lets you interact with your GitHub repositories directly from Glean, so agents can create and review pull requests, read files from specific branches, and fetch workflow logs without leaving Glean. After you connect GitHub and configure the GitHub app, these actions run with the permissions granted to your GitHub installation, honoring your organization and repository access controls while automating common engineering workflows such as drafting PR descriptions, inspecting diffs, and debugging CI failures through Glean. You can use GitHub actions to do the following:
  • Create a PR
  • Create a branch
  • Edit code
  • Read a file from a branch
  • Fetch logs for a workflow
  • Find a diff for a PR
The following are the supported GitHub actions that you can use to create workflows through Glean Agents.
