# Quickstart

# Quickstart

This walks you from zero to inline reviewing your pull requests. You'll sign in, connect GitHub, enable a repository, and open a PR.

## 1. Sign in

Open the portal and sign in with your Microsoft work account (Entra ID). The first person from your organization to sign in gets a personal workspace; teams are organized into [organizations](./organizations.html) you can switch between from the top of the sidebar.

## 2. Connect GitHub

inline connects to GitHub in one of two ways — see **[Connecting GitHub](./connect-github.html)** for the full comparison:

- **GitHub App** (recommended) — installs the `inline` bot into your org. Reviews post under the bot's identity and GitHub delivers events automatically.
- **OAuth (Nango)** — connects under your own GitHub account from the portal. inline provisions repo webhooks for you.

Go to **Repositories** and follow the connect flow for whichever mode your org uses.

## 3. Enable a repository

Connecting makes repos visible; enabling turns on reviews. On the **Repositories** page, toggle a repo **enabled**. That's the only required step — everything below is optional tuning.

## 4. Open a pull request

Open or update a PR in the enabled repo. Within a minute or two:

1. inline picks up the change.
2. A fast model triages it; if it's substantive, the deep model reviews it.
3. inline posts a summary comment plus any inline findings, and — if you enabled it — a [walkthrough](./walkthrough.html) link.

If inline has nothing worth saying, it says nothing. **Zero comments is a successful review.**

## 5. Interact on the PR

You can talk to inline right in the PR by commenting:

```text
@inline full review        # re-review the whole PR from scratch
@inline ask <question>     # ask about the change
@inline learn <rule>       # teach it a convention to remember
```

See **[Conversations](./conversations.html)** for the full command set.

## 6. Tune it

Once you've seen a few reviews, tune to taste in the portal:

- **Severity threshold** and **custom instructions** — [review config](./review-config.html).
- **Merge gate** — make `inline / review` a required check ([merge gate](./merge-gate.html)).
- **Learnings & skills** — teach conventions and attach expertise ([learnings](./learnings.html)).
- **Auto-fix, sandbox tests, walkthroughs** — opt-in [automation](./auto-fix.html).
