View and merge pull requests in Talo

Choose a local repository above the chat composer, then open the GitHub button on the right to see the current branch's pull request, reviews and checks.

Connect your account

  1. Install GitHub CLI (gh) on your system PATH.
  2. Run gh auth login --hostname github.com in the terminal.
  3. Choose a repository whose origin remote points to github.com, and check out the PR branch.
  4. Open the GitHub panel. Use Refresh after signing in or changing PR status.

Talo reuses GitHub CLI authentication. It does not store GitHub tokens in browser storage or expose them to the chat. The panel refreshes when opened or when the app regains focus while it is open.

Merge a pull request

The panel offers the repository's enabled merge methods: squash, merge commit or rebase. The action label names the method and the panel shows the target branch. Clicking it merges the published PR on GitHub; it does not push local changes, delete the local branch, switch branches or pull the resulting commit locally.

Merge is disabled for draft or closed PRs, missing write permission, required reviews, conflicts, or a merge state other than GitHub's CLEAN. Before sending the merge request, the backend reloads the PR and verifies its repository, number, head commit and allowed merge method. The API request also includes the expected head SHA. GitHub enforces its branch rules and account permissions.

Current boundaries

  • The panel uses the selected repository's origin and same-repository PRs. Cross-repository fork PRs and GitHub Enterprise hosts are not supported yet.
  • Merge uses GitHub's direct merge API. Repositories requiring a merge queue or stacked PR operations may reject it; their workflows need a separate integration.
  • Network failures and timeouts appear in the panel. If a merge response is uncertain, refresh to check the PR state before retrying.
  • Repository selection is shared across chats. OpenCode and terminal working directories are not yet bound to the selected repository.
