GitSniff vs SonarQube
Modern Intelligence vs Static Rules
Static analysis tools like SonarQube are great at counting cyclomatic complexity, but they don't understand *intent*. GitSniff uses LLMs to understand what your code is actually trying to do.

Intelligence Over Rules
Static analysis tools are stuck in the past. They can't understand why code was written a certain way—only that it doesn't match a pattern. GitSniff brings semantic understanding to code review, approving valid complexity while catching real issues.
Zero Setup
SonarQube often requires a dedicated server, database, and complex CI/CD pipeline configuration. GitSniff is plug-and-play via GitHub App.
Auto-Fixing
Static tools point at the problem. We fix it. GitSniff generates the actual code to resolve the issue, ready to commit.
Always Learning
You can teach GitSniff your team's specific preferences. "We prefer interfaces over types". Static rules are hardcoded and rigid.
