/install-github-app
A Claude Code slash command, read out of the shipped bundle. No mined inventory carries it: everything below comes from what this site has written about it.
Install the Claude GitHub App for a repository, with an optional step to set up GitHub Actions workflows and secrets. Walks you through selecting a repo and configuring the integration. Works only with github.com repositories. When your repository's git remote is on gitlab.com or bitbucket.org, the command prints a notice and exits instead of starting setup. To run Claude Code from GitLab pipelines, see GitLab CI/CD

First cited
1The earliest release whose published evidence quoted /install-github-app was v2.1.233, 14 Aug 2026. That is the oldest release this project wrote about it, so it is a floor on the name's age and not the release that introduced it. It is not a presence reading: which builds carried the name is the table below.
Presence across releases
0The miner has never read a build containing this name. It is here because a changelog entry of ours names it, which is evidence that it existed and not evidence of which releases carried it. The inventory starts at v2.1.138 and everything older than that was never mined.
Read out of the published npm bundle release by release, and out of Anthropic's own documentation as this site captured it. Nothing on this page is a description anybody here wrote about what the slash command does. All slash commands.
