Introduction

CodeRabbit is an innovative, AI-powered code reviewer. It provides context-aware review feedback on a pull request within minutes, thereby significantly reducing the time and effort associated with manual code reviews. Additionally, it brings a different perspective to the reviews and finds issues often missed by the human eye. Developers can chat with the bot within the code, which allows them to provide additional context, ask questions, or have the bot generate code. It learns from your suggestions and gets better over time.

CodeRabbit seamlessly integrates with GitHub and GitLab repositories, performing continuous, incremental reviews for each commit within a pull request. Review feedback is sent back to the pull requests and can be directly committed.

CodeRabbit integrates into code repositories using GitHub or GitLab webhooks and monitors events related to Pull Request (PR) and Merge Request (MR) changes. A comprehensive review is performed when a PR or MR is created, and for incremental commits and comments addressed to the bot. The feedback is then sent directly back to the PR or MR.

Data, Privacy, and Security

CodeRabbit does not use data collected during code reviews to train or influence the models. Queries to the Large Language Models (LLMs) are ephemeral and there is zero retention on LLMs. Neither we nor the LLMs provider(s) share any data collected during the code review process with third parties.

Data storage: Code downloaded during the review process is temporarily stored in memory and deleted once the review is completed. The code is not stored or used for any other purpose. However, CodeRabbit enhances future reviews for your organization by storing the embeddings of the learnings generated from chat conversations. Additionally, it integrates embeddings from issues in workflow systems (Linear, Jira, GitHub/GitLab issues) to assess the impact of code changes on existing issues.

Compliance and Data Privacy: Your data is kept confidential, isolated by the organization, and used only to improve your organization reviews. Data storage complies with SOC2 Type II and GDPR standards.

Opting Out: You can choose to opt out of data storage at any time. Opting out won't affect your access but will limit the personalization of the reviews.
