A distributed code review system for Git repositories, implemented as a Go command line tool. Reviews are stored as git objects (git-notes) inside the repo itself, so no server-side setup is needed and reviews sync via normal git push/pull.

Use cases

  • do code reviews without GitHub or a review server
  • store code review comments inside the git repository
  • request and review changes from the command line
  • sync review history across a team using git push/pull
  • review code with any git hosting provider

When to choose

  • you want serverless, fully distributed code review tied to the repo
  • your team lives in the terminal and uses plain git workflows
  • you need reviews to work with any git host

When to avoid

  • you prefer a web-based review UI like GitHub pull requests or Gerrit
  • you need rich integrations, dashboards, or CI-triggered review flows
  • the project appears minimally maintained, with the last release in 2023
