This page shows you how to set up Gemini Code Assist on GitHub, a Gemini-powered agent that automatically summarizes pull requests and provides in-depth code reviews.

Before you begin

To set up Gemini Code Assist on GitHub, make sure you do the following:

1. Have a GitHub organization or personal account.

2. Have one or more GitHub repositories that you want to enable Gemini Code Assist on GitHub on.

   If you don't have such a repository, you can create a fork of our sample repository to use.

3. Ask your administrator to grant you the Service Usage Admin role and the geminicodeassistmanagement.scmConnectionAdmin role.

   Important: The geminicodeassistmanagement.scmConnectionAdmin role can't be granted using the Google Cloud console. Use the Google Cloud CLI instead.
   • Alternatively, if you have the Admin or Owner basic roles, you have the necessary IAM permissions to complete the setup.

4. Ensure that the Google Cloud project you use during setup is connected to a valid billing account.
