Know which PR to review next. PR Bro ranks pull requests by weighted scoring across your GitHub queries, so you always start with the most important review.

**GitHub Personal Access Token**:`repo`

scope for private repos`public_repo`

for public only

**Platforms**:- macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon)
- Linux (x64)

```
brew tap toniperic/tap
brew install pr-bro
```

To upgrade:

```
brew upgrade pr-bro
cargo install pr-bro
```

Requires Rust toolchain. Install from [rustup.rs](https://rustup.rs).

Download pre-built binaries from the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/toniperic/pr-bro/releases) page. Extract and move to your PATH:

```
tar -xzf pr-bro-<version>-<platform>.tar.gz
mv pr-bro /usr/local/bin/
pr-bro
```

On first run, PR Bro will prompt you with a series of questions to set up your configuration. It will also ask for your GitHub token interactively. To skip the token prompt, set the `PR_BRO_GH_TOKEN`

environment variable.

For the full list of configuration options, see the [Configuration Reference](/toniperic/pr-bro/blob/master/docs/configuration.md).

Use `pr-bro --help`

for all command-line options. Press `?`

in the TUI for keyboard shortcuts.

**Weighted scoring** calculates a single priority number for each PR based on age, approval count, size, labels, draft status, and whether you've reviewed it before, all based on your preferences/configuration. Each parameter can be used to boost or penalize PRs score in any way you see fit.

**Interactive TUI** shows all PRs sorted by score. Navigate with arrow keys or vim bindings. Press `b`

to see the score breakdown for any PR. Press `r`

to refresh.

**Multiple queries** let you track different PR sets. Each query can override global scoring rules. First-match-wins when a PR appears in multiple queries.

**Snooze PRs** to hide them temporarily. Press `s`

to snooze for a custom duration or indefinitely. Snoozed PRs live in a separate tab and don't clutter your main list.

**Score breakdown** shows exactly how a PR's score was calculated. See which factors contributed most. Press `b`

on any PR to open the detail view.

**Light and dark themes** adapt to your terminal. PR Bro auto-detects your terminal background and picks the right color palette.

**ETag-based HTTP caching** reduces GitHub API calls. Auto-refresh only fetches if data changed on the server. Manual refresh bypasses in-memory cache.
