Key Takeaways
This video teaches how to install Claude Code to GitHub, enabling instant background agent functionality for automated code implementation and PR creation
Original Description
If you use GitHub (and if you don't you really should) for your apps, installing Claude Code is one of the best things you can do to 10x productivity.
You can now also use your Claude Pro or Max plan so it doesn't cost anything.
- Instant PR creation: Describe what you need, and Claude creates a complete PR with all necessary changes
- Automated code implementation: Turn issues into working code with a single command
- Follows your standards: Claude respects your CLAUDE.md guidelines and existing code patterns
- Simple setup: Get started in minutes with our installer and API key
- Secure by default: Your code stays on Github’s runners
In this video I show you how to set it up quickly and use it for GitHub issues and pull requests.
