This guide outlines the steps to set up a self-hosted instance of Kaizen, which utilizes a GitHub App to perform various actions related to pull requests (PRs) and repository management.

Kaizen allows you to run its API server locally or on your own infrastructure.

• Python: Required for using Poetry, a dependency manager used by Kaizen.
• Docker and Docker Compose: For deploying and managing containerized applications.
• GitHub Account: You'll need this to set up a GitHub App and configure permissions.

Outline

To create your own local version of Kaizen, follow along the guide to complete the following steps:

1. Clone the repository.
2. Install required dependencies.
3. Create a Github app.
4. Prepare the configuration settings.
5. Deploy the API.
