# Install
cargo install prctrl
# Configure
prctrl config init
# List pending reviews
prctrl list
# Monitor for new PRs (background)
prctrl monitor
```
## Installation
### From Source
```bash
cargo install --git https://github.com/JeremySomsouk/prctrl
```
### Requirements
- Rust 1.70+
- GitHub personal access token (read access to PRs)
- macOS (for native notifications)
## Configuration
Run the interactive setup to configure PRCtrl:
```bash
prctrl config init
```
This creates a config file at `~/.prctrl/config.toml` with your GitHub settings.
**Example configuration:**
```toml
# ~/.prctrl/config.toml
[github]
token = "ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
username = "john_doe"
org = "my-company"
repos = ["frontend", "backend", "mobile"]
teams = ["platform", "backend"] # optional
```
**Getting a GitHub Token:**
1. Go to GitHub → Settings → Developer Settings → Personal Access Tokens
2. Generate New Token (Classic)
3. Select scopes: `repo`, `read:user`, `notifications`
4. Copy the token and add it to your config
**Optional: Configure Crew Members**
The `crew` feature filters PRs to show only those from your team members:
```toml
[github]
# ... required fields above ...
crew_members = ["alice", "bob", "carol"]
**Alternative: Environment Variables**
Instead of a config file, you can use environment variables:
| `PRCTRL_GITHUB_TOKEN` | GitHub personal access token |
| `PRCTRL_GITHUB_USERNAME` | Your GitHub username |
| `PRCTRL_GITHUB_ORG` | GitHub organization name |
| `PRCTRL_GITHUB_REPOS` | Repos to monitor (comma-separated) |
| `PRCTRL_GITHUB_TEAMS` | Teams to filter (optional) |
| `PRCTRL_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | For Claude integration (optional) |
