CodeAnt AI provides two convenient ways to trigger code reviews for your local changes against the main branch:

​
Review Methods

​
1. Automatic Review on Commit

The easiest way to get your code reviewed is through automatic triggering on git commits:

git add -A
git commit -m "your message"
# CodeAnt automatically starts reviewing your changes

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.
