Use Case
Stop doing repetitive developer & devops tasks manually. GitHub Knowledge Base lets your AI agent handle them automatically through natural conversation. Manage a local GitHub knowledge base and provide GitHub search capabilities via gh CLI. Use when users ask about repos, PRs, issues, request to clone GitHub repositories, explore codebases, or need information about GitHub projects. Supports searching GitHub via gh CLI and managing local KB with GITHUB_KB.md catalog. Configure via GITHUB_TOKEN and GITHUB_KB_PATH environment variables. This guide shows practical examples of using GitHub Knowledge Base to automate common developer & devops workflows and save hours every week.
