PR Pilot

PR Pilot is a lightweight desktop app for reviewing your work before it becomes a pull request. Point it at a local git repository, compare two branches, and get an AI-generated code review and PR description — all running locally, with your own API key.

Built with Tauri + React + TypeScript on the frontend and Rust (git2) for local git access.

Features

• Repository picker — choose any local git repo and keep a recent-folders list for quick access
• Repo overview — current branch, remote, dirty state, ahead/behind tracking, contributor stats, repo size, and stale/merged branches
• Branch comparison — pick a base and compare branch, see commit count, files changed, and insertion/deletion stats
• Commit timeline — scrollable history of the current branch's commits
• Configurable AI provider — point at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (model, temperature, max tokens), stored locally
• AI code review — sends the diff for analysis, with severity-tagged findings mapped to specific files/hunks and per-category quality scores
• PR description generation — AI-written title and description, honoring the repo's own PR template (or a fallback saved in Settings) and editable before use; can open a prefilled GitHub "Create PR" page directly

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+
• Rust
• Tauri's platform-specific system dependencies — see the Tauri prerequisites guide

Install

npm install

Run in development

Build

Configuration

Open the in-app Settings screen to connect an AI provider:

• API URL (any OpenAI-compatible endpoint)
• API key
• Model identifier
• Temperature and max output tokens

Settings and recent folders are persisted locally via tauri-plugin-store; nothing is sent anywhere except the AI endpoint you configure.
