It’s recommended to start building a task in LatchLoop in order to create the pull request in the first place.
After that, if you want to make changes or work on the branch in the PR on your own or with other AI coding tools, you can. In fact, for complex tasks, this is recommended and LatchLoop will always understand the current context of the pull request, even if that pull request was updated outside of LatchLoop.
Once a pull request is created, a task in LatchLoop, you can ask questions or give LatchLoop additional details to make further edits to that pull request by using the chat input the sidebar.
When using the AI Chat message on the sidebar, LatchLoop’s agent automatically has context of the existing PR and the rest of your repository, so it will be able to reference the files that it needs.
A great workflow for pair programming with LatchLoop is one where you specifically plan to work alongside it on a pull request.
To best accomplish this, first define what needs to be done in your LatchLoop task. Then at the end of your description, communicate to LatchLoop which parts you will work on, and what it should handle.
Run the build phase and LatchLoop will create the branch, PR, and work on its tasks.
You can then commit work to the same branch LatchLoop has created and work with it after using the chat column on the task to request for it to complete additional work.
