dsolve(diff(y(x),x)^2+(x+a)*diff(y(x),x)-y(x)=0,y(x), singsol=all)
 

\begin{align*} y \left (x \right ) &= -\frac {\left (a +x \right )^{2}}{4} \\ y \left (x \right ) &= c_{1} \left (c_{1} +a +x \right ) \\ \end{align*}

Solution by Mathematica

DSolve[y'[x]^2+(x+a)*y'[x]-y[x]==0,y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 

\begin{align*} y(x)\to c_1 (a+x+c_1) \\ y(x)\to -\frac {1}{4} (a+x)^2 \\ \end{align*}
