First change in five minutes#

Open Ysra and sign in with your email and password. If you already use the ysra CLI on this computer, choose Use my ysra CLI login instead.

Ysra desktop sign-in

Sign in once; your sign-in is stored encrypted by your operating system.

Open a folder#

Choose New thread (Cmd+N, or Ctrl+N on Windows and Linux) and pick a project folder. I show what I found there and ask whether you trust it.

Choose Trust & open. I remember the answer for that folder.

Ask a question first#

Type in the message box and press Enter:

explain how refunds are calculated

Nothing changes on a question. You get an answer and the files I read.

Ask for a change#

add partial refunds: never more than the remaining balance, with a test

I read the code, edit it, run your checks, and show each step as it happens. When I'm done you see Candidate ready.

Review it, then decide#

Choose Review changes to see every file I touched next to what it was. Then:

  • Commit… keeps the change on a branch;
  • Undo my changes… puts everything back exactly as it was.

Nothing is committed or pushed until you choose.

A finished task with the Candidate ready card

A finished change: review it, commit it, or undo it.
