Reviewdog - Automated Security Code Review

Overview

Reviewdog is an automated code review tool that integrates security scanning and linting results into pull request review comments. It acts as a universal adapter between various security tools (SAST scanners, linters, formatters) and code hosting platforms (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket), enabling seamless security feedback during code review.

Key Capabilities:

• Aggregates findings from multiple security and quality tools
• Posts inline review comments on specific code lines
• Supports 40+ linters and security scanners out-of-the-box
• Integrates with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, and other CI platforms
• Filters findings to show only new issues in diff (fail-on-diff mode)
• Supports custom rulesets and security policies
