CodeRabbit CI Integration
Overview
Integrate CodeRabbit into your CI/CD pipeline as a merge gate. CodeRabbit posts a GitHub Check on each PR, and you can require this check to pass before merging. This skill covers branch protection rules, GitHub Actions workflows that react to CodeRabbit reviews, and strategies for enforcing review quality in CI.
Prerequisites
- CodeRabbit GitHub App installed on your repository
- GitHub repository with branch protection enabled
.coderabbit.yaml committed to repository root- GitHub Actions enabled on the repository
Instructions
Step 1: Enable CodeRabbit as a Required Status Check
1. Go to GitHub repo > Settings > Branches > Branch protection rules
2. Click "Add rule" (or edit existing rule for `main`)
3. Enable "Require status checks to pass before merging"
4. Search for "coderabbitai" in the status checks list
5. Select it as a required check
6. Save changes
Result: PRs cannot be merged until CodeRabbit completes its review.
Step 2: Configure Review Approval Behavior
reviews:
request_changes_workflow: true
profile: "assertive"
auto_review:
enabled: true
drafts: false
