I'm JD and today what we're going to go through is we're actually going to look at the beta of Google's jewels as well as how we can apply that to an open source project. So there's a bunch of different GitHub issues that are coming in on the N MCP client node. We're going to take Jules and apply it to that. With that, let's go ahead and get started. All right. So Google IO uh announced this thing called Jules uh an asynchronous coding agent. And I wanted to try this on the open source project I have for uh any n MCP client node just so it can kind of help with different bugs that seem to be popping up. And a perfect example of something that I thought would be good to try on was this uh authentication uh bug. So what's happening is that we're doing a split uh because we wanted to be able to make multiple different ways of doing environment pairs. Problem is having comma uh and spaces specifically spaces is uh actually breaking the uh when you need to write a barrier. So, what we're going to do is fix this um and focus more on the comma and keep like keeping the comma and keeping the new line um and not have it do spaces. So, uh let's let's see how this will work. All right, so first things first, we're going to have to connect our GitHub. So, we'll go ahead and do that. All right, cool. And so, now we're authenticated. Let's go ahead. It's going to grab our information. Uh, I think I'm just gonna pull. So, we know we're in Maine. There's no PR. Uh, let's just take the information from here and see if this can help. All right, we're going to go ahead and allow the notifications and we'll come back to this. So, we're starting to see things come through. It's created a plan. Let's go ahead and take a look at what this plan looks like. It's going to auto approve. Uh, it's understanding the key, ensuring the commas. I mean, it's going through and it's finding all the other HTTP ones as well as the SSE. So, and it's also defining that it should write a test. So, now it's auto approving the plan. um super impressed that it was it was able to go through and figure out like not only did we reference the uh uh standard in standard out, but we also it it found the HTTP streamable as well as the SSSE credentials. All right, so it's already starting to do some of the things. We're just going to kind of look. It's modifying the environment variable. We kind of see the code in line also see what it's trying to change over here. Uh, and it's going ahead and publishing the branch. So, this is kind of interesting. I would have liked it to maybe catch the fact that this was an open PR. Uh, but still, we'll we'll give it a shot. So, let's kind of keep just looking through. So, it's going through doing the it got rid of the comma. Um, which I guess if you are doing the may need to rethink that a little bit. So, the reason I'm I'm a little worried about that is I get the point of the comra comma, but if you do need to pass an object, that would make sense. Um, but we also need to figure out if this is like going to break backward compatibility. Uh, but let's just at least go ahead and start with the publishing of the branch and we'll see what uh what this comes up with. So far, still pretty pretty interesting. All right, so that actually came back pretty fast. We already have our branch. We'll go ahead and take a look at the branch. Um, can already do a compare. I mean, look at this pretty awesome description also following uh um any changes and let's do closes create a pull request. Yeah, so far super interesting. I mean definitely a way to to kind of stay up on some of your bugs if you already have either like an open source project definitely see this helpful. I mean even if you don't and you have like bugs flowing in uh you know I I think some cool enhancements to this obviously it's in beta would be can it pick up issues automatically? Could you have an integration to um to uh to like Jira or notion or things like that and obviously there's a daily limit but still really interesting uh to see that we can actually take a GitHub issue bring it into our implementation of Jules and have it just go out and program.

Also, if you're interested in joining a community, please sign up at the newsletter link below. With that, let's get back to it. So, just going to continue on this. I noticed back in the actions there's an error. So, I actually al also wired this up to code rabbit. Um so getting you know getting some information from there actually let's see if we have ch strings any tips were around chat and PR uh but I did notice that it's failing on this uh PR validation validate pull request so if we look at that action uh we can kind of see that there's uh some declarations and to be defined in our uh build. So, what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to take this and we'll go over here and see what it does uh as far as running that test. And let's uh let's see what happens. So, I keep pausing this just because uh it's it's coming through. But this is really interesting. So we I I passed through the issue. It's uh going through and creating a new plan. It automatically went through. It's looking at now all the packages. It thinks it found a successful build. So that's pretty interesting, right? Like it's pulling it down. It's running it. It's making sure that it has TypeScript. kind of going through the the process to to figure out the the the build issues that it needs and uh coming through. So, we'll see where this goes. All right. So, I keep pausing this uh just to let it run. So, let's take a look at what this did. it actually uh defined a uh it's recognizing that it there's an issue with the test. So it's putting together a plan again. It's looking at the uh replace the 2B with tob defined. Uh we're going to go ahead and see and then it's going to submit the changes. So I also thought this was cool. I mean again it's pulling it's pulling in the your code and actually running it. Uh so it's finding some build issues. It's going to uh run through that. It actually did uh did actually create a push for this. So let's go back to our branch. And now we have two commits. So we have the first the first commit and now we have the uh declarations in our test. So very cool. Um, let's see. Oops. Let's see here. Uh, if we have I mean, this is super cool. I love I've been loving what uh code rabbit's doing. So, it's actually giving some sequence diagrams, doc headers. Okay. And now we have a passing uh all checks have passed. So, yeah, this is looking good. and we'll get this merged in. All right, that's it for us today everyone. If you haven't already, please remember to like and subscribe. What we went through is the beta release of Jules, how we can actually use that on a repository and particularly can we use that in our open-source uh solutions. With that, happy nerding. --- *Generated for LLM consumption from nerding.io video library*
