Linear: - PR #442: Simplifies and clarifies GitHub integration instructions by revising docs/platforms/github-com.md and docs/platforms/platforms.md; focuses on step-by-step GitHub setup and a conceptual overview of Git platform integration (PR summary).
WalkthroughThe documentation for GitHub.com integration and the general platforms overview was rewritten for clarity and conciseness. The GitHub integration page now provides a streamlined, step-by-step guide with explicit permission details, while the platforms overview introduces a conceptual workflow and directs users to platform-specific guides. Redundant and overly detailed content was removed. Changes

3-3: Tweak description wording for smoother readability
Consider swapping “add to” with “integrate into” so the sentence flows a bit more naturally.-description: Learn how to integrate CodeRabbit and add to your GitHub workflow. +description: Learn how to integrate CodeRabbit into your GitHub workflow.
17-20: Clarify required permission level
“Ownership-level permissions” is ambiguous on GitHub (possible roles:admin,maintain,ownerfor orgs). Explicitly naming the required role avoids confusion for readers who aren’t org owners but still haveadminrights on a repo.-You need to have a GitHub account, and ownership-level permissions of at least one repository associated with that account. +You need a GitHub account and at least **Admin** permission on one repository associated with that account.
23-25: Remove duplicated word
Minor typo: “you” repeated.-Before you can you use CodeRabbit with GitHub, you need to +Before you can use CodeRabbit with GitHub, you need to
46-49: Tighten phrasing for conciseness-Even after you've integrated CodeRabbit with your GitHub account, you need to -separately grant CodeRabbit the permissions that it needs to post code reviews and -create pull requests in your repositories. +After linking your GitHub account, grant CodeRabbit additional permissions so it can post reviews and open pull requests in your repositories.
55-60: Use parallel wording and slashes for permission list-- Read-only access to actions, checks, discussions, members, and metadata. -- Read-and-write access to code, commit statuses, issues, and pull requests. +- Read-only: actions, checks, discussions, members, metadata +- Read/Write: code, commit statuses, issues, pull requestsThis keeps the two bullets symmetrical and shorter.

Learning: For files in docs/tools/*.md directory: Do not recommend installation instructions or usage setup steps. All tools documented in this directory are pre-installed in CodeRabbit's default environment and require no installation steps from users. Documentation should focus on tool capabilities and features only.

Learning: The word "CodeRabbit" should always have both C and R capitalized (not "coderabbit", "Coderabbit", or "CoderabbitAI"). The correct format is "CodeRabbit" and "CodeRabbitAI" for the service account. Proactively correct this capitalization in review comments when contributors mistype it.

32-38: Verify display name capitalization
GitHub shows the OAuth application as CodeRabbitAI, notcoderabbitai. Double-check the exact label users will see to avoid confusion during authorization.

Took a look at these, they look technically accurate to me. The only ambiguous items we may want to clarify:
None of these are blockers. Let's ship :) |
Hmm... I'm not sure what you mean? I'm pretty sure that a given CodeRabbit organization is always related to exactly one Git platform, right? If I already have CodeRabbit set up with GitHub, nothing's stopping me from setting it up with BitBucket too, and that leaves me with effectively two separate CodeRabbit accounts. Do you think fact could use more clarity?
We have something like that already published: https://docs.coderabbit.ai/guides/roles#permissions
What do you mean by "CodeRabbit dropdown options"?
Adding you as a reviewer; please do make your approval official for the record! |
I was thinking about it, but I haven't ran into any customers that actually use multiple git hosting providers. So we can ignore. |

@coderabbitai In this repository, there's no "minor typos". If a documentation pull request contains an outright error in spelling or grammar, that should be a bug that requires correction prior to merge, and not a nitpick suggestion. |

Tip For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes. @jmacdotorg Thank you for that important clarification! I understand - in this documentation repository, spelling and grammar errors are not minor issues but actual bugs that must be corrected before merge. I'll make sure to flag any such errors as required fixes rather than optional suggestions in my reviews. This maintains the high quality standards expected for CodeRabbit's documentation. 🐰 ✏️ Learnings added
