title: OpenHands GitHub Action
description: This guide explains how to use the OpenHands GitHub Action in your own projects.
---
## Using the Action in the OpenHands Repository
To use the OpenHands GitHub Action in a repository, you can:
1. Create an issue in the repository.
2. Add the `fix-me` label to the issue or leave a comment on the issue starting with `@openhands-agent`.
The action will automatically trigger and attempt to resolve the issue.
## Installing the Action in a New Repository
To install the OpenHands GitHub Action in your own repository, follow
the [README for the OpenHands Resolver](https://github.com/All-Hands-AI/OpenHands/blob/main/openhands/resolver/README.md).
## Usage Tips
### Iterative resolution
1. Create an issue in the repository.
2. Add the `fix-me` label to the issue, or leave a comment starting with `@openhands-agent`.
3. Review the attempt to resolve the issue by checking the pull request.
4. Follow up with feedback through general comments, review comments, or inline thread comments.
5. Add the `fix-me` label to the pull request, or address a specific comment by starting with `@openhands-agent`.
### Label versus Macro
- Label (`fix-me`): Requests OpenHands to address the **entire** issue or pull request.
- Macro (`@openhands-agent`): Requests OpenHands to consider only the issue/pull request description and **the specific comment**.
## Advanced Settings
### Add custom repository settings
You can provide custom directions for OpenHands by following the [README for the resolver](https://github.com/All-Hands-AI/OpenHands/blob/main/openhands/resolver/README.md#providing-custom-instructions).
### Custom configurations
GitHub resolver will automatically check for valid [repository secrets](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-for-github-actions/security-guides/using-secrets-in-github-actions?tool=webui#creating-secrets-for-a-repository) or [repository variables](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/choosing-what-your-workflow-does/store-information-in-variables#creating-configuration-variables-for-a-repository) to customize its behavior.
The customization options you can set are:
| **Attribute name** | **Type** | **Purpose** | **Example** |
| -------------------------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `LLM_MODEL` | Variable | Set the LLM to use with OpenHands | `LLM_MODEL="anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"` |

| `TARGET_BRANCH` | Variable | Merge to branch other than `main` | `TARGET_BRANCH="dev"` |
| `TARGET_RUNNER` | Variable | Target runner to execute the agent workflow (default ubuntu-latest) | `TARGET_RUNNER="custom-runner"` |
