uv pip install -e .
- Set up environment variables:
Create a
.envfile 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": {
