CodeRabbit Upgrade & Migration
Overview
CodeRabbit is a managed SaaS service -- there is no SDK to upgrade. Configuration changes happen by updating .coderabbit.yaml in your repository. This skill covers adopting new CodeRabbit features, upgrading between plans, migrating configuration formats, and staying current with CodeRabbit capabilities.
Prerequisites
- CodeRabbit installed on repository
.coderabbit.yaml in repository root- Access to CodeRabbit dashboard at app.coderabbit.ai
Upgrade Paths
| From | To | What Changes |
|---|
| Free | Pro | Private repos, more concurrent reviews, all features |
| Pro | Enterprise | SSO, dedicated support, SLA, custom limits |
| Old config format | New format | Updated YAML schema fields |
| Basic config | Advanced config | Path instructions, learnings, finishing touches |
Instructions
Step 1: Check Current Configuration vs Latest Schema
# On any open PR, post this comment:
@coderabbitai configuration
# CodeRabbit replies with the active config as YAML.
# Compare with the latest schema documentation to find:
# 1. Deprecated fields you're still using
# 2. New fields available that you're not using
# 3. Fields with changed default values
Step 2: Upgrade Free to Pro Plan
# What you gain with Pro:
1. Private repository support (Free = public only)
2. More concurrent reviews (Free = 1, Pro = 5)
3. Learnings (CodeRabbit remembers your feedback preferences)
4. Finishing Touches (auto-generate docstrings, custom recipes)
5. Full path instructions and review customization
6. Priority review processing
# Steps:
1. Go to app.coderabbit.ai > Organization > Subscription
2. Select Pro plan
Set seat assignment policy (active committers recommended)
Add payment method
Seats activate immediately for all configured repos
