What Gitar is
Gitar is a code change verification agent for teams that want pull requests reviewed and CI failures investigated. It uses codebase and team-convention context to review changes, then posts consolidated findings with inline notes where relevant. When a pipeline fails, it distinguishes likely code breakage from flaky tests or infrastructure noise and identifies root causes. Under rules set by a team, Gitar can commit fixes to a branch and continue iterating until CI passes. Teams can put review, fix, escalation, approval and merge policies in natural language in repository files. It supports GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps, including self-hosted instances, and connects to CI systems such as GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Jenkins and TeamCity. It is a cloud service, with API access and self-hosted options listed. Pricing is on request for Enterprise; Core is $20 a month billed annually or $25 a month billed monthly per user. A free plan is available for qualifying public open-source repositories, and a 14-day free trial is listed for Core and Pro.
