biral - How to Use

1

Create an account

Sign up with your email or use Google sign-in. Once logged in, you'll land on the Repositories page.

2

Connect a repository

Click Add Repository and enter a GitHub URL or local path. biral currently supports JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python, with more languages coming soon.

For public GitHub repos, just paste the URL and click Connect & Index Repository
For private GitHub repos, connect your GitHub account first — you'll see a GitHub Connected status once linked

Indexing typically takes a few minutes depending on the repository size. You'll see a spinner while it's in progress.

3

Ask questions about your code

Once indexing is complete, select the repository to open the chat interface. Type any question about your codebase in the input box at the bottom.

How does the refund process work?
What happens when a user cancels?
How does messaging work?

biral searches the indexed code and responds with an explanation grounded in the actual business logic, with references to the relevant source files.

Use the suggested prompts at the top of the chat to get started quickly.

4

Manage your repositories

From the Repositories page, click the ••• menu on any repo card to:

Share — Grant access to other users by username
Move to company — Assign the repo to a company for team-wide access
Delete — Remove the repository and its index

Use Change Repository in the chat view to switch between repos without leaving the page.

5

Set up a company (optional)

Go to the Companies page to create a company. Give it a name and an optional URL-safe slug.

Add team members to the company
Move repositories into the company so all members get access automatically
Company admins can manage members, repos, and settings

Companies are great for teams — instead of sharing each repo individually, move it to the company and everyone on the team can use it.

6

Try demo repositories

Not ready to connect your own repo? Try one of the demo repositories available on the Repositories page — like Cal.com, Chatwoot, or Saleor E-commerce — to see biral in action.
