🤖 PullPal — Your Smart Teammate for Pull Requests

Automatically find the best reviewer for every pull request in your GitHub organization.

🧠 What Is PullPal?

PullPal is a GitHub app that connects to your organization and analyzes:

• your team’s previous pull requests,
• code ownership across repositories, and
• the context of the new PR (changed files, language, dependencies).

It then automatically recommends — or even assigns — the developer best suited to review the code.
No more random reviewer roulette 🎯

✨ Key Features

• 🔍 Smart Reviewer Suggestions
  Chooses reviewers who’ve worked on similar code or reviewed related changes before.

• ⚡ Instant Integration
  Works directly inside GitHub — no new dashboards or tools to learn.

• 🔄 Balanced Review Load
  Distributes PR reviews evenly across your team.

• 💬 Transparent Decisions
  Explains why a reviewer was suggested:
  “@alice edited this file 3 times in the past month and reviewed 5 similar PRs.”

• 🧩 Flexible Configurations
  Choose whether PullPal automatically assigns reviewers or just suggests them.

🚀 How It Works

1. Install the PullPal GitHub App on your organization.
2. Grant repository access (read-only for code and PR metadata).
3. Whenever a PR is opened:
   • PullPal analyzes its changes and history.
   • It ranks potential reviewers by familiarity, activity, and review history.
   • A comment appears in the PR with the top suggested reviewers.

Example:

🤖 PullPal recommends:
1. @alice — worked recently on `pkg/service/auth`
2. @bob — frequent reviewer of similar changes
