DocuGardenerDocs

Quick Start

Get DocuGardener running on your repositories in under 5 minutes.

1

Sign up

Go to docugardener.dev and click Get started free. Sign in with your GitHub account. The Free plan includes 50 PR analyses per month, 1 repository, and 1 seat — no credit card required.

2

Create your GitHub App

After signing in, DocuGardener walks you through a guided wizard. Click Create & Install GitHub App — you will be redirected to GitHub to approve permissions (read repository contents, write check runs). The whole process takes about 2 minutes.

3

Select repos to monitor

Once you return from GitHub, pick which repositories DocuGardener should watch. You can always add or remove repos later from Settings → Repositories.

4

Open a pull request

That’s it for setup. Open any pull request in a monitored repository. DocuGardener automatically receives a webhook, analyses the changes, and posts a drift analysis as a GitHub check run directly on the PR.

5

Review findings

Visit the Triage Inboxin your DocuGardener dashboard to review drift findings. From there you can apply one-click fixes (which open a documentation PR), dismiss findings with a reason, or mark items as “no update needed.”

Note: The first analysis takes 30 -- 90 seconds depending on repository size. Subsequent analyses on the same repo are faster because the vector embeddings are already cached.

What Happens Next?

Every time someone opens or updates a pull request in a monitored repo, DocuGardener will automatically:

  1. Clone the PR branch and parse the changed files.
  2. Embed documentation and code into a vector database for semantic comparison.
  3. Use an LLM to score documentation drift (0 = in sync, 100 = severely outdated).
  4. Post results as a GitHub check run on the PR.
  5. If AI Author Mode is enabled and the PR was authored by an AI agent, automatically open and merge a documentation fix PR.

Upgrading Your Plan

The Free plan is a great starting point. When you need more repositories, seats, or higher analysis limits, upgrade to Pro ($29/month — 500 analyses, 5 repos, 10 seats) or Team ($79/month — unlimited analyses, repos, and up to 100 seats) from Settings → Billing. For organisations that require a dedicated instance, air-gapped deployment, 7-year audit retention, or a contractual SLA, contact us about Enterprise.
