CodeAnt AI provides two convenient ways to trigger code reviews for your local changes against the main branch:
The examples below use VS Code’s side panel. Cursor and Windsurf use the same extension. In JetBrains, open the CodeAnt plugin window and select Review Specified Commits. In Visual Studio, open View > Other Windows > CodeAnt AI to access the review interface. Sign in before starting a review.

Review Methods

​
1. Automatic Review on Commit

The easiest way to get your code reviewed is through automatic triggering on git commits:
CodeAnt will automatically detect your commit and begin analyzing the changes immediately.

​
2. Manual Review from Side Panel

For on-demand reviews without committing:
  • Open the CodeAnt side panel in VS Code
  • Click the “Start Review” button
  • Get comprehensive analysis in 2-3 minutes

​
✨ The CodeAnt Workflow

Here’s how the complete review process works:
  1. Write Code - Develop features as usual in your workspace
  2. Commit Changes - Use your normal git workflow to commit changes
  3. Automatic Review - CodeAnt analyzes your commit for bugs and security issues
  4. See Issues - View all detected problems in the side panel with detailed explanations
  5. Fix with Diffs - Click “Show Diff” to see suggested fixes for each issue
  6. Apply Changes - Edit the diff if needed, then click “Apply Fix” to implement the solution
  7. Push Clean Code - Confidently push bug-free code to your repository

What Gets Reviewed

CodeAnt analyzes your local changes by comparing:
  • Modified files against the main branch
  • New files added in your current branch
  • Deleted code and its impact on the codebase
The review covers code quality, security vulnerabilities, potential bugs, and adherence to best practices.
