Neovim + Git AutoReview
AI code reviews for the modern Vim experience
This integration is currently in development. Join our waitlist to be notified when it launches. In the meantime, you can use Git AutoReview with our available VS Code extension.
Overview
Git AutoReview brings AI-powered code reviews to Neovim, the hyperextensible text editor. Get intelligent feedback from Claude, Gemini, and GPT without leaving your terminal. Our Lua-based plugin integrates with your existing Neovim workflow and works seamlessly with Telescope, nvim-lspconfig, and gitsigns.
- Limited AI tooling for terminal-based editors
- Breaking workflow to use browser-based review tools
- Lack of multi-model AI support in existing plugins
- Complex setup for code review integrations
- Stay in your terminal workflow
- Lua-based plugin with lazy loading
- Telescope integration for navigation
- Works with your existing Neovim config
- Minimal dependencies
