Fine 💜 Open Source

Fine is proud to support open source projects with AI Coding assistants. Click here to register your interest in having Fine workflows applied to your Open Source repository free of charge.

Fine can help manage large open source repositories with many contributors, ensuring high-quality, bug-free code and fast issue resolution. Our AI Workflows are repository-wide and proactive, triggered by events that occur within a GitHub repository, such as a new PR being submitted.

Here’s how you can use Fine to manage your open source code more efficiently.

AI Workflows for Open Source Repositories

Automated PR Reviews

When you’ve got multiple developers writing code, it can be hard to stay on top of the PR reviews—especially if you’re maintaining an open source repository as a hobby or side project.

Fine’s PR Review workflow template is triggered by every new PR in a given repository. The AI reads the PR and analyzes it, making suggestions for improvements. You can also add specific rules to the “Agent” such as ensuring the PR meets coding standards, checking for duplicates, running tests, and summarizing the PR.

Issue Triage & Context

When users add a new issue, Fine can begin by triaging the type of issue and labeling it for easier processing. Then, Fine can search your code and other issues to pull relevant context and add it to the issue thread, to help contributors solve the issue easily without duplicating work.

Turn GitHub Issues into Pull Requests

Repository owners, collaborators, and maintainers whom you add to the Fine Workspace will be able to use Fine to turn GitHub Issues into Pull Requests within the thread in GitHub. All you have to do is leave a comment with \code and Fine will get to work. Click here to learn more.

This works best when the Issue description has lots of clear guidance—just like if you were giving instructions to a human developer.

How to connect Fine to an Open Source Repository

A repository owner, collaborator, or maintainer will need to create a Fine account and connect their GitHub account via the secure login interface. Then, they’ll need to visit the “repositories” page in Fine and choose which repositories they want to index.

Once the repository has been indexed, the Fine account owner can add or change Workflows which will apply to the repository even if triggered by other GitHub users who are not part of the Fine Workspace.

The Fine account owner can also invite other maintainers to the Fine Workspace so that they’ll be able to use all Fine features, including editing the Workflows. Only add GitHub repository owners, collaborators, or maintainers to the Fine Workspace, as anyone you add will be able to push changes to the repository, even if they don’t have permissions in GitHub.
