Prerequisites
- A project open in the Code IDE on your own branch, not on the read-only default branch. See Work with read-only branches.
- Basic understanding of Git concepts: commits, branches, and pull requests.
Steps
1
Make a change
Edit a file in your dbt™ project. The file shows in the Changes list of the Git Lite panel. Keep the files you want to commit selected.
2
Let DinoAI write the commit message
Click Write commit. DinoAI reads the selected files and drafts a message in the Commit message… box. Edit the message, or click Write commit again for a new draft.
3
Commit and push
Click the arrow next to Ship it, then Commit & Push. Git Lite commits the selected files with your message and pushes them to your branch.Ship it does the same, then opens the new pull request page in your Git provider. You don’t need that page here, because DinoAI opens the pull request in the next step.
4
Let DinoAI open the pull request
Click Draft PR with DinoAI at the top of the Git Lite panel. The DinoAI panel opens with a prompt to open a pull request from your branch into your default branch, with your branch’s changes attached. Send the prompt.DinoAI opens the pull request with a title and a description that covers a summary of the changes, the motivation, and how to test them.
DinoAI opens pull requests with its GitHub PR management tool, which needs the GitHub integration. On other Git providers, click Ship it in the previous step instead, and finish the pull request on the page it opens.
You’ll know it worked when your commit shows on your branch with DinoAI’s message, and your pull request is open with a title and a description. If Write commit doesn’t show, DinoAI isn’t available in your workspace.
