CodeRabbit Install & Auth
Overview
CodeRabbit is an AI-powered code review platform. It installs as a GitHub App (or GitLab integration) and automatically reviews pull requests. There is no SDK to install -- you configure it via a .coderabbit.yaml file and interact through PR comments. Optionally, install the CLI for local pre-commit reviews.
Prerequisites
- GitHub organization admin or GitLab group owner permissions
- A repository to enable CodeRabbit on
- (Optional) Shell access for CLI installation
Instructions
Step 1: Install the CodeRabbit GitHub App
1. Navigate to https://github.com/apps/coderabbitai
2. Click "Install" and select your organization
3. Choose repository access:
- "All repositories" for org-wide coverage
- "Only select repositories" for targeted setup
4. Authorize the requested permissions (read code, write PR comments)
5. You will be redirected to app.coderabbit.ai to complete onboarding
Step 2: Verify Installation
set -euo pipefail
gh api repos/YOUR_ORG/YOUR_REPO/installation --jq '.app_slug'
