Login with GitHub

We use your GitHub identity to verify org membership and to install the Hive GitHub App on your repositories. No passwords are stored.

Install the Hive GitHub App

The Hive GitHub App lets our agents read issues, open PRs, and respond to CI on your repos. Install it on the org or repos you want to manage.

Choose autonomy level

How much should the agents do on their own? Start low and increase as you build confidence. This only controls the mundane work — security patches, dependency updates, issue triage, test fixes — so your team can focus on what matters: innovation, outreach, and strategy.

L1 — Advisory Recommended to start

Agents scan issues and suggest fixes but take no action. You review everything. A safe way to see what the hive would do before granting more autonomy.

L2 — Measured

Agents open issues to track findings. No PRs, no merges.

L3 — CI-Gated PRs

Agents open hold-gated pull requests. CI must pass, and a human approves each merge.

L4 — Auto PR

Agents open and merge PRs on green CI. Human review optional. Best for repos with strong CI coverage.
