Using the Action in the OpenHands Repository

To use the OpenHands GitHub Action in a repository, you can:
  1. Create an issue in the repository.
  2. Add the fix-me label to the issue or leave a comment on the issue starting with @openhands-agent.
The action will automatically trigger and attempt to resolve the issue.

​
Installing the Action in a New Repository

To install the OpenHands GitHub Action in your own repository, follow the README for the OpenHands Resolver.

Usage Tips

​
Iterative resolution

  1. Create an issue in the repository.
  2. Add the fix-me label to the issue, or leave a comment starting with @openhands-agent.
  3. Review the attempt to resolve the issue by checking the pull request.
  4. Follow up with feedback through general comments, review comments, or inline thread comments.
  5. Add the fix-me label to the pull request, or address a specific comment by starting with @openhands-agent.

​
Label versus Macro

  • Label (fix-me): Requests OpenHands to address the entire issue or pull request.
  • Macro (@openhands-agent): Requests OpenHands to consider only the issue/pull request description and the specific comment.
