CodeAnt CLI provides a unified interface for managing pull requests, code reviews, and comments across all major SCM platforms. All PR commands auto-detect your SCM platform and repository from the git remote.

​
Supported Platforms

PlatformHosting
GitHubgithub.com, GitHub Enterprise (self-hosted)
GitLabgitlab.com, self-hosted GitLab
Bitbucketbitbucket.org, Bitbucket Server / Data Center
Azure DevOpsdev.azure.com, visualstudio.com

​
Auto-Detection

CodeAnt automatically detects your SCM platform, repository name, and default branch from your git remote: 
# These are equivalent — auto-detection handles it
codeant pr list
codeant pr list --remote github --name owner/repo
How it works:
  1. Parses git remote get-url origin (supports both SSH and HTTPS URLs)
  2. Maps the host to a platform (e.g., github.com → github)
  3. Extracts owner/repo from the URL path
  4. Detects the default branch from refs/remotes/origin/HEAD
For self-hosted instances, CodeAnt uses hostname heuristics (e.g., a host containing “gitlab” maps to GitLab). You can always override with --remote and --name flags.

​
Authentication

See Setup — SCM Platform Tokens for authentication configuration.
