🚀 AlphaPatch

AI-powered GitHub assistant that analyzes issues and proposes code fixes automatically.

AlphaPatch is an open-source developer tool that integrates directly with GitHub workflows to:

• 🧠 Understand issues using AI
• 💡 Suggest solutions
• 🛠️ Generate code patches
• 🔁 Open pull requests automatically

✨ Features

• 📌 Issue Analysis
• Classifies issues (bug, feature, question)
• Summarizes problem clearly
• 🤖 AI-Powered Suggestions
• Provides detailed explanations
• Suggests possible fixes
• 🔧 Patch Generation (WIP)
• Generates code diffs
• Prepares pull request drafts
• 🔄 GitHub Integration
• Runs via GitHub Actions
• Automatically comments on new issues

🧠 How It Works

1. A new issue is opened
2. GitHub Action is triggered
3. AlphaPatch:
   • Reads the issue
   • Analyzes the repository
   • Generates a response
4. Bot posts a comment or creates a PR

⚙️ Installation

To add AlphaPatch to your repository, use the integration guide and workflow template:

1. Copy AlphaPatch into your repo (or vendor it).
2. Run scripts/install.sh to create .github/workflows/alphapatch.yml.
3. Add required secrets (GEMINI_API_KEY, GEMINI_MODEL).
4. Open a new issue to trigger AlphaPatch.

⚡ Quickstart

See docs/integration.md for a step-by-step setup, required secrets, and permissions. You can also customize workflow triggers there (issue comments, manual runs, schedules).
