FAQ

Frequently asked questions about GitSniff.

General

What is GitSniff?

GitSniff is an AI-powered code review platform that uses multiple large language models to review your pull requests, find bugs and security issues, and suggest fixes. It integrates directly with GitHub.

Is my code stored by GitSniff?

No. Code is processed in memory during analysis and is not stored permanently. Only analysis results (scores, findings, comments) are retained.

Which programming languages are supported?

GitSniff works with any programming language. The AI models have broad language support, and security scanning tools cover major languages and frameworks.

Can I use GitSniff with private repositories?

Yes. GitSniff works with both public and private repositories. Code access is controlled through the GitHub App permissions.

Features

What's "The Trio"?

The Trio refers to GitSniff's three core AI features: Code Review (automated PR analysis), Chat (interactive AI assistant in PRs), and Auto-fix (automated code suggestions).

Can I choose which AI model reviews my code?

Yes. You can select specific models or use auto-selection where GitSniff picks the best model based on PR size. GitSniff supports 20+ models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta, DeepSeek, xAI, and more.

Pricing

How much does GitSniff cost?

GitSniff uses usage-based pricing. You pay a per-analysis fee plus token costs based on the AI model used and PR size. See Pricing for details.

Is there a free option?

Yes. GitSniff is free for public open source repositories with the Open Source plan. See Plans for details.

Are there per-seat fees?

No. GitSniff doesn't charge per seat. Add as many team members as you want — you only pay for actual usage.

Configuration

Can I customize the review behavior?

Yes. Add a .opencode/instructions.md file to your repository with custom review preferences, coding standards, and focus areas. See Custom Instructions.

Can different repositories have different settings?

Yes. Repository settings override organization defaults. See Repository Settings.

Troubleshooting

GitSniff isn't reviewing my PRs

Check the following:

  1. Auto-review is enabled — Verify in Dashboard > Repository > Settings
  2. Repository is connected — Check Dashboard > Repositories
  3. GitHub App is installed — Verify in your GitHub organization settings
  4. Webhook is active — Check that the GitHub App webhook is receiving events

Reviews are taking too long

Large PRs with many changed files take longer to analyze. Consider:

  • Using a faster model tier for initial reviews
  • Splitting large PRs into smaller, focused changes
  • Disabling security scans that aren't needed for the PR type

I'm getting too many comments

Adjust the inline comment style to short-summary or long-summary in your settings to reduce comment volume. You can also add custom instructions to focus on specific types of issues.
