Overview

qwen-code-action is a GitHub Action that integrates [Qwen Code] into your development workflow. It acts both as an autonomous agent for critical routine coding tasks, and an on-demand collaborator you can quickly delegate work to.

Use it to perform GitHub pull request reviews, triage issues, perform code analysis and modification, and more using [Qwen Code] conversationally (e.g., @qwencoder fix this issue) directly inside your GitHub repositories.

Features

• Automation: Trigger workflows based on events (e.g. issue opening) or schedules (e.g. nightly).
• On-demand Collaboration: Trigger workflows in issue and pull request

comments by mentioning the [Qwen Code] (e.g., @qwencoder /review).

• Extensible with Tools: Leverage [Qwen Code] models' tool-calling capabilities to

interact with other CLIs like the [GitHub CLI] (gh).

• Customizable: Use a QWEN.md file in your repository to provide

project-specific instructions and context to [Qwen Code].

Quick Start

Get started with Qwen Code in your repository in just a few minutes:

1. Get a Qwen API Key

Obtain your API key from [DashScope] (Alibaba Cloud's AI platform)

2. Add it as a GitHub Secret

Store your API key as a secret named QWEN_API_KEY in your repository:

• Go to your repository's Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions
• Click New repository secret
• Name: QWEN_API_KEY, Value: your API key

3. Update your .gitignore

Add the following entries to your .gitignore file:

# qwen-code settings
.qwen/

# GitHub App credentials
gha-creds-*.json

4. Choose a Workflow

You have two options to set up a workflow:

Option A: Use setup command (Recommended)

1. Start the Qwen Code in your terminal:

qwen

2. In Qwen Code in your terminal, type:

/setup-github

Option B: Manually copy workflows

1. Copy the pre-built workflows from the [examples/workflows](./examples/workflows) directory to your repository's .github/workflows directory. Note: the qwen-dispatch.yml workflow must also be copied, which triggers the workflows to run.

5. Try it out

Pull Request Review:

• Open a pull request in your repository and wait for automatic review
• Comment @qwencoder /review on an existing pull request to manually trigger a review

Issue Triage:

• Open an issue and wait for automatic triage
• Comment @qwencoder /triage on existing issues to manually trigger triaging

General AI Assistance:

• In any issue or pull request, mention @qwencoder followed by your request
• Examples:
• @qwencoder explain this code change
• @qwencoder suggest improvements for this function
• @qwencoder help me debug this error
• @qwencoder write unit tests for this component

Workflows

This action provides several pre-built workflows for different use cases. Each workflow is designed to be copied into your repository's .github/workflows directory and customized as needed.

Qwen Code Dispatch

This workflow acts as a central dispatcher for Qwen Code, routing requests to the appropriate workflow based on the triggering event and the command provided in the comment. For a detailed guide on how to set up the dispatch workflow, go to the [Qwen Code Dispatch workflow documentation](./examples/workflows/qwen-dispatch).

Issue Triage

This action can be used to triage GitHub Issues automatically or on a schedule. For a detailed guide on how to set up the issue triage system, go to the [GitHub Issue Triage workflow documentation](./examples/workflows/issue-triage).

Pull Request Review

This action can be used to automatically review pull requests when they are opened. For a detailed guide on how to set up the pull request review system, go to the [GitHub PR Review workflow documentation](./examples/workflows/pr-review).

Qwen Code Assistant

This type of action can be used to invoke a general-purpose, conversational Qwen Code AI assistant within the pull requests and issues to perform a wide range of tasks. For a detailed guide on how to set up the general-purpose Qwen Code workflow, go to the [Qwen Code Assistant workflow documentation](./examples/workflows/qwen-assistant).
