GitHub

Overview

The GitHub integration enables developers to visualize UI changes before writing code. Generate interactive AI prototypes directly from GitHub issues, helping engineers understand design requirements and validate implementations early in the development cycle. Preview prototypes in pull request comments to demonstrate UI changes without deploying staging environments.

GitHub's position at the center of modern software development makes it ideal for bridging design and implementation. Alloy's integration transforms issues describing UI features into working prototypes, reducing miscommunication between product and engineering teams. Whether exploring solutions for a bug report or implementing a new feature request, developers can generate and iterate on prototypes without leaving their GitHub workflow.

How it works

Generate prototypes from GitHub issues using the Alloy GitHub Action or through issue comments. Simply comment /alloy prototype on any issue to generate an interactive prototype based on the issue description and comments. The prototype appears as an embedded preview in the issue thread, allowing collaborators to interact with the proposed solution and provide feedback before implementation begins.

Link prototypes to pull requests for comprehensive code review. When a PR implements a UI change, the associated prototype provides reviewers with a visual reference of the intended outcome. This accelerates review cycles by giving context beyond code diffs, helping maintainers understand not just what changed, but why and how it should look to end users.

Note: Self-hosted GitHub Enterprise Server is available as its own integration.
