How to Start a New Branch in GitHub with Littlebird

Cut the branch without leaving the conversation.

New work means a new branch -- switch to the terminal, remember the naming convention, check out, push upstream. Small, but it's the tax between deciding to start and starting. Littlebird's already in the thread where you decided.

Connect GitHub and it can create a branch for new work from a Chat request.

How do I create a new branch in GitHub with AI?

Connect GitHub and Littlebird can create a new branch in your repositories from a Chat request, so "cut a branch for the retry fix" happens without you dropping to the terminal.

Create the branch from Chat

Littlebird can create a new branch in your repositories from a Chat request, so new work starts without a context switch.

Commit to it right away

Littlebird can create, update, or push files to the branch from Chat, so the first change lands the moment the branch exists.

Open the PR when it's ready

Littlebird can create a pull request from the branch and write the description from the diff, so the work goes from branch to review in the same thread. The full set of what Littlebird does across GitHub is on the GitHub integration page.

Decide to start. Have the branch already cut.

Common questions

Do I need to connect GitHub for this to work?

Littlebird starts working on its own by paying attention to your active window, so you get value the moment you install it. But creating branches needs GitHub connected -- it takes a few seconds in Settings > Integrations.

Can Littlebird write to my repositories?

Yes. Littlebird can create branches, create, update, or push files, open pull requests, and spin up new repositories -- all from Chat, and all actions you trigger. It never acts without your request, never trains on your data, and never sells it.

Connect GitHub

Connect GitHub in Settings > Integrations, then ask it to cut the branch. See everything Littlebird does with GitHub on the GitHub integration page.
