Last updated 4 months ago

Typo necessitates write access to your codebase for the following reasons:

  1. Git Integration for Code Review Feedback:

    • The application leverages the Git provider’s API to post analysis results directly as comments within Pull Requests (PRs).

    • This facilitates real-time code review and collaboration by seamlessly integrating code quality insights into the existing development workflow.

2. AI-Powered Code Autofix and Streamlined PR Creation:

  • Typo incorporates an advanced AI-driven engine for automated code remediation.

  • Upon identifying code errors, the system generates and presents optimized code snippets.

  • The platform empowers developers with a user-friendly interface that allows them to initiate a new PR with the auto-fixed code with a single click.
