Coming soon:

• Advanced version with Linear integration and more
• Local codebase mode
• Team support

Follow these steps to get the simple version of Buildware running.

git clone https://github.com/mckaywrigley/buildware.git

npm install

Copy the .env.example file to .env.local and fill in the required variables.

cp .env.example .env.local

The following values are required for config for the simple version:

App Mode (keep default value):

• NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_MODE=simple

LLMs:

• ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=
• OPENAI_API_KEY=

Database:

• DATABASE_URL=

GitHub:

• GITHUB_PAT=

You will need a Postgres database to use Buildware.

We recommend using Supabase or Neon.

Once you have your connection string, update the DATABASE_URL in the .env.local file.

Next, run the database migrations:

npm run migrate

Now your database is ready to use.

You will need a GitHub PAT (Personal Access Token) to use Buildware.

Follow these steps:

1. Go to this link.
2. Click "Generate new token".
3. Give your token a name and set the expiration date.
4. Select a "Resource owner".
5. Select which repositories you want to access. You must select either "All repositories" or "Only select repositories".
6. Select the 3 required repository permissions:
   • Contents: Read and write
   • Pull Requests: Read and write
   • Metadata: Read-only (this is selected by default)
7. Click "Generate token".
8. Copy your new PAT.

Once you have your PAT, update the GITHUB_PAT in the .env.local file.

npm run dev
