A GitHub Copilot You Can Run From Your Phone
Point Adaptive at a GitHub repo and your agent can read the code, answer questions about it, make changes, and push commits — straight from a chat thread on your phone, with no local checkout.
adaptiveConnected. I've cloned acme/storefront and indexed the codebase — 184 files across the web app, API, and shared packages. Ask me anything about the code, or just describe a change.

The cart total is computed in `packages/core/src/cart/totals.ts`. You're right — `applyTaxes()` runs once inside `subtotal()` and a second time in `checkout()`. Want me to remove the duplicate call in `checkout()` and open a PR?
Done. I removed the duplicate `applyTaxes()` call, added a regression test in `totals.test.ts`, ran the test suite locally, and pushed `fix/cart-double-tax` with a PR opened against `main`.

How to set up a GitHub repo copilot with Adaptive
Connect your GitHub account and pick a repo
Authorize Adaptive's GitHub app and select the repo you want to work on. Adaptive clones it into a private cloud workspace and indexes the code in the background.
Ask questions about the codebase
Use plain English to ask things like "where do we handle Stripe webhooks?" or "explain how auth flows through the API." Adaptive searches the live code and responds with file paths and excerpts.
Describe the change you want
Say what you want done — fix a bug, add a feature, rename a symbol, write a test, refactor a function. Adaptive edits the files, runs available tests, and shows you a diff before doing anything destructive.
Approve and let Adaptive push the commit
When the diff looks right, ask Adaptive to push it. It commits to a new branch, opens a PR with a clear description, and links you back to GitHub for the final review and merge.
Everything you need to ship code from anywhere
Repo-aware answers
Adaptive reads your actual code on every question — not a stale embedding. Replies cite real file paths, line numbers, and excerpts so you can verify the answer against the source.
Plain-English code changes
Describe what you want like you would to a teammate. Adaptive edits the right files, keeps the change scoped, and shows you the diff before pushing anything.
Branches, commits, and PRs handled for you
Adaptive creates a fresh branch for each change, writes a clear commit message, and opens a pull request against your target branch with a summary you can edit.
Tests run in the cloud workspace
When your repo has tests, Adaptive runs the relevant ones in its sandbox and reports failures inline so you don't merge a broken change from your phone.
Mobile-first chat interface
Drive the whole workflow from the iOS app or a browser tab. No local checkout, no IDE, no SSH — just a thread you can pick up wherever you left off.
You stay in control
Adaptive previews diffs, asks before pushing, and never force-pushes to your main branch. Every change goes through a PR you approve.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about github repo copilot from your phone.
With Adaptive, you connect your GitHub account once and pick a repo. Adaptive clones the repo into a private cloud workspace and indexes the code, so you can ask questions and make changes from a chat thread on your phone. There's no local checkout to maintain — Adaptive runs the edits, tests, and commits in the cloud and pushes results back to GitHub on a new branch.
Yes. Adaptive reads the actual files in your repo on every question rather than relying on a stale snapshot. When you ask "where do we handle X?" it searches the live source and replies with concrete file paths, line numbers, and code excerpts. You can click through to GitHub to verify, which makes the answers easy to trust.
No. Adaptive always creates a new branch for any change you ask for and opens a pull request against your target branch — it never commits directly to main. You see the diff before anything is pushed and you do the final review and merge in GitHub. This keeps the workflow safe even when you're shipping from a phone.
IDE-based assistants need you to be at a desk with the repo open. Adaptive works the other way around — the repo lives in a cloud workspace and you drive the agent over chat from any device. That makes Adaptive a better fit for small fixes, code questions, and async work you want to do without setting up your environment.
Yes. When your repo has a test suite Adaptive can detect, it runs the relevant tests inside the cloud workspace as part of making a change. If a test fails, Adaptive reports the failure inline and lets you decide whether to fix it, adjust the change, or push anyway — so a quick mobile commit doesn't silently break the build.
Adaptive uses GitHub's OAuth flow with scoped repo access so you choose which repositories it can read and push to. You can revoke access at any time from your GitHub settings, and Adaptive only writes to branches it creates — never to protected branches without your approval.
