Benefits of Agentic AI Analysis
Code Rabbit does more than just check for errors; it provides 'technical implementation details' that might be overlooked by 'Vibe Coders'. This information is extremely helpful if the application 'breaks' later on.
Tips for Waiting for AI Reviews
Don't panic if the review doesn't appear instantly. Depending on the complexity of the code, the AI needs time to 'think'. A 'working' status indicates that the AI agent is actively analyzing your logic.
Manual Decisions in Automation
Even though the AI provides comments, you have full control to 'skip' suggestions that you consider minor and proceed with 'Merge' if you are confident in your original code.
Step by Step
How to Trigger AI Code Review via Pull Request
- Open your project repository on GitHub after pushing your latest code.
- Click the button in the yellow box at the top (usually 'Compare & pull request') to start the code merging process.
- Enter a clear and concise title in the 'Pull Request title' field (e.g., 'Add a dark mode').
- Click the green 'Create pull request' button.
- Wait a moment for Code Rabbit AI to start the automatic analysis (this typically takes anywhere from 20 seconds to a few minutes).
- Scroll down to the comments section to see the technical change summary generated by Code Rabbit.
- Review the improvement suggestions or 'review' provided by the AI on specific lines of code.
- If you are satisfied with the code, click the 'Merge pull request' button.
- Click 'Confirm merge' to officially merge the changes into the 'main' branch.
- Open GitHub Desktop and click 'Fetch origin' to ensure the code on your local machine is synced with the latest version in the cloud.
