GitHub

GitHub is only needed if you want an AI agent to write the fix for you at the end of an investigation. Investigating, reporting root cause, and answering follow-ups all work without it, as does fixing the code yourself or handing the investigation to your own AI coding agent.

Connect

Section titled “Connect”

Setup is self-serve, two ways. In the app, open Settings > Integrations and use the GitHub Connect button. Or, from Slack, type this to the Fixter bot:

connect github

Either route gives you an install link for the Fixter GitHub App. Follow it, choose which repositories to grant, and the installation is bound to your workspace when the callback completes.

What access is used for

Section titled “What access is used for”

With the App installed, an AI agent reads the affected repository and opens a pull request with the fix on it. This is in beta: every pull request is reviewed by someone at Fixter before it reaches you. Nothing is ever merged for you.

Repositories are cloned into temporary isolated environments that exist only for the duration of an investigation or fix generation. Your code is not stored beyond that, and caches are invalidated when the run ends.

Fixter does not build or test the change it proposes. Review it as you would any change from a colleague.

If the fix flow does not work

Section titled “If the fix flow does not work”
  • Fixter says it cannot reach the repository. The App is installed but that repository was not granted to it. Adjust the installation on GitHub.
  • Nothing happens after connect github. The install link is personal to the person who asked. Whoever ran the command has to complete it, and needs permission to install apps on the organisation.
  • An investigation names a fix but no pull request appears. Pull requests go through a Fixter review while the fix flow is in beta, so they do not arrive the moment the investigation finishes.
