GITHUB NODE INTEGRATION

Connect GitRabbit directly to your GitHub Organization or personal repositories.

GitRabbit integrates with GitHub using our official GitHub App. This integration enables GitRabbit to listen to webhook events, post inline code review comments, update PR statuses, and handle discussions in PR threads.

PR Status Checks

Integrate GitRabbit status checks directly with branch protection rules to block unsafe merges.
