Getting Started Guide

1. Create a GitHub Personal Access Token

ReviewRadar uses the GitHub API to fetch your pull request data. To get started, you need a Personal Access Token (PAT):

  1. Go to GitHub Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens
  2. Click Generate new token (classic) or Fine-grained token.
  3. For classic tokens, select the repo scope (and read:org if you need private org repos).
  4. For fine-grained tokens, select the repositories you want and grant Pull requests read access.
  5. Copy the generated token and paste it into ReviewRadar when prompted.

2. Add Repositories

Once your token is saved, add the repositories you want to track:

  • Open the Settings panel in the app.
  • Enter repository names in owner/repo format (e.g. facebook/react).
  • Click Add — the repo will appear in your tracked list.
  • You can add or remove repositories at any time.

3. Use the Dashboard

The dashboard gives you a real-time overview of all open pull requests across your tracked repositories:

  • Sort and filter PRs by status, author, label, and more.
  • See build status, review status, and how long each PR has been open.
  • Click any PR title to open it directly on GitHub.
  • Use the refresh button to pull the latest data on demand.
