Getting Started Overview
This guide explains what Codity does and what you can expect after connecting your first repository.
What Codity does
- Connects to your repositories on GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, or Bitbucket
- Monitors pull requests and merge requests via webhooks
- Analyzes code changes using AI-powered analysis
- Posts review comments directly in your pull requests / merge requests
- Tracks metrics in a unified dashboard
- Generates tests from the CLI with
codity test-gen
What happens after connecting a repository
- Webhook registration: Codity registers a webhook with your version control system, so you never configure one manually.
- Automatic review triggering: by default, when a PR or MR opens, Codity fetches the changes and analyzes them for security vulnerabilities, functional bugs, performance issues, code quality concerns, and maintainability issues. Later pushes re-check the merge status, and teams can choose to review every commit or only PRs that target certain branches.
- Review comments: findings are posted inline with issue type and priority, a description, a code suggestion where applicable, and exact line references.
- Dashboard updates: review duration, issues found, breakdown by type and priority, and historical trends.
What you'll see first
- Review comments posted automatically, usually within 1-3 minutes.
- A summary comment with an overview of findings.
- Like / dislike buttons on each comment.
- In the dashboard: your repository list, recent activity, and a metrics overview across repositories.
