CodeRabbit Hello World

Overview

Minimal working example demonstrating CodeRabbit AI code review. CodeRabbit reviews PRs automatically via a GitHub/GitLab App -- no SDK or API calls needed. You configure behavior through a .coderabbit.yaml file and interact via PR comments.

Prerequisites

• CodeRabbit GitHub App installed (see coderabbit-install-auth)
• A repository with at least one branch

Instructions

Step 1: Create Minimal Configuration

# .coderabbit.yaml (repository root)
language: "en-US"
reviews:
  profile: "assertive"
  high_level_summary: true
  auto_review:
    enabled: true
    drafts: false
chat:
  auto_reply: true

Step 2: Add Path-Specific Instructions

# .coderabbit.yaml - add review context for better feedback
reviews:
  profile: "assertive"
  high_level_summary: true
  auto_review:
    enabled: true
    drafts: false
  path_instructions:
    - path: "src/**/*.ts"
      instructions: "Check for proper TypeScript types. Flag any use of `any`."
    - path: "**/*.test.*"
      instructions: "Verify edge cases are covered. Check async handling."
