source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
- Install the package using uv:
uv pip install -e .
- Set up environment variables:
Create a
.env
file in the project root:
GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token_here
Basic Usage
Setting Up Claude Desktop Integration
- Start the GIT-Pilot server:
uv run main.py
-
Download and install Claude Desktop
-
Configure Claude Desktop:
- Open Claude Desktop
- Go to
File > Settings > Developer > Edit Config
- Add the following configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"GIT-Pilot": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"path\\to\\repo",
"run",
"main.py"
]
}
}
}
- Restart Claude Desktop
