What it is
Gitar is a code change verification agent that reviews pull requests, investigates CI failures, and can apply fixes before checking changes against CI. Its reviews use codebase and team-convention context, with consolidated findings and inline notes where relevant. When pipelines fail, it distinguishes code breakage from flaky tests or infrastructure noise and identifies root causes. Teams can set review, fix, escalation, approval, and merge policies in natural language in repository files. Subject to those rules, Gitar can commit fixes to a branch and iterate until CI passes. It supports GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps, including self-hosted instances, and connects to CI systems such as GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Jenkins, and TeamCity. Gitar is listed as cloud-deployed, with API and self-hosted options. Core is $20 a month billed annually or $25 a month billed monthly per user, with a 14-day free trial. A free plan is available for qualifying public open-source repositories.
