Use this guide to connect the Autter platform and verify that reviews appear in your source control provider.

​
Before you begin

You need:
  • an Autter account
  • access to a GitHub repository or GitLab project
  • permission to install or authorize the relevant integration
  • a pull request or merge request you can open for verification
Plans and included review volumes can change. See current pricing before you roll Autter out across an organization.

​
Connect your first repository

1

Sign in to Autter

Open the Autter platform and sign in.
2

Connect GitHub or GitLab

Choose your source control provider and complete its authorization flow.
Install the Autter GitHub App on the account or organization that owns the repository.
3

Grant repository access

Select the repository or project Autter should review. Start with one active repository while you evaluate the feedback.
4

Open a pull request

Open a pull request or merge request in the connected repository. Autter starts the review from the proposed diff and available repository context.
5

Confirm the review appears

Look for an Autter review summary, inline findings, or an Autter check in the pull request interface.

​
Evaluate the first review

Check that the review gives the author enough context to act:
  • the affected code or behavior
  • why the finding matters
  • a proposed fix when Autter can provide one
  • the severity or merge impact
If the feedback is too broad or too noisy, adjust the review behavior and add team rules. See Configuration.

​
Add a team rule

Autter supports team standards written in natural language. Define a small, testable rule such as:
Payment handlers must verify the authenticated account owns the payment method before creating a charge.
Apply the rule to the relevant repositories, then test it with a pull request that contains a representative change. See Custom rules for a safe rollout process.

​
Add AI authorship context

Install the Autter CLI when you also want line-level attribution for code written by coding agents. 
curl -sSL https://autter.dev/install.sh | bash
autter status
The CLI can remain local-only or connect to your Autter organization. See Install the CLI and Data and privacy.

​
Troubleshoot the connection

If no review appears:
  1. Confirm the repository is included in the integration’s access scope.
  2. Confirm the pull request targets the repository’s normal review branch.
  3. Check the Autter platform for a connection or review status.
  4. Reopen or update the pull request after fixing access.
