AI code review for your CI,
with a risk score you can gate merges on
Your key, any provider, or fully offline.
gitl (git-log-lens) reads a commit range and turns it
into a structured engineering artifact: an AI review with a machine-readable risk
level, a deterministic changelog, and a multi-repo activity digest — one Go binary,
no server, no database.
gitl review — AI review of a commit range with a
machine-readable risk level. Without a key it falls back to a deterministic
offline heuristic — no network, no cost.Install
# Homebrew (macOS/Linux)
brew install akomyagin/tap/gitl
# npm — downloads the prebuilt, checksum-verified binary for your platform
npx gitl-cli review HEAD~5..HEAD # or: npm install -g gitl-cli
# Go toolchain
go install github.com/akomyagin/gitl/cmd/gitl@latest
Three commands, one binary
gitl review
AI review of a commit range, PR, or staged changes with a machine risk
level (low / medium / high). --fail-on=high exits with code 2 —
a contract your CI can branch on. Streams tokens live; caches responses on
disk.
gitl changelog
Keep-a-Changelog output grouped by conventional commits — deterministic by
default, --ai rewrites it as release-note prose and falls back
cleanly without a key. Never fails.
gitl digest
Activity summary by author, topic, and file across multiple repositories
in parallel — with an interactive TUI viewer (--tui).
It's also an MCP server (gitl mcp) and ships CI wrappers for
GitHub Actions, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Gitea — see the
full documentation.

# AI review of a commit range (streams to the terminal)
GITL_API_KEY=sk-... gitl review HEAD~5..HEAD
# no key = deterministic offline review (heuristic risk, no network)
gitl review HEAD~5..HEAD
# machine-readable + CI gate
gitl review HEAD~5..HEAD --format=json --fail-on=high # exit 2 on high risk
Exit codes are part of the contract: 0 — ok, 1 —
tool/runtime error, 2 — the --fail-on risk gate
triggered.
