Overview

This is a Chrome extension which reviews Pull Requests for you using ChatGPT.

Here's an example output for this Pull Request:

codereview_gpt_demo.mp4

Usage

Navigate to a GitHub Pull Request that you want a review for.
Click the extension icon
If you have not already, the extension will ask you to log in at chat.openai.com
You get code review comments from ChatGPT in the popup window

NB: Running the review multiple times often produces different feedback, so if you are dealing with a larger PR, it might be a good idea to do that to get the most out of it.

FAQ

Q: Are the reviews 100% trustworthy?

A: Not yet, as of 2022. This tool can help you spot bugs, but as with anything, use your judgement. Sometimes it hallucinates things that sound plausible but are false — in this case, re-run the review.

Q: What aspects of the Pull Request are considered during the review?

A: The model gets the code changes and the commit messages in a patch format.

Q: Does the extension post comments on the Pull Request page?

A: No. If you want any of the feedback as PR comments, you can just copy paste the output.

Q: Is this a GPT wrapper?

A: Yes, but

Q: Why would you want this?

A: Plenty of reasons! You can:

- pretend to work while playing games instead
- appear smart to your colleagues
- enable a future skynet
- actually catch some bugs you missed
