CodeRabbit Local Dev Loop

Overview

Use CodeRabbit CLI to review code locally before opening a PR. The CLI provides the same AI-powered review as the GitHub App but runs in your terminal against staged or unstaged changes. This creates a multi-layered review process: local CLI review before commit, then automated PR review after push.

Prerequisites

• CodeRabbit CLI installed (curl -fsSL https://cli.coderabbit.ai/install.sh | sh)
• Git repository with .coderabbit.yaml configuration
• CodeRabbit account (CLI uses credits: $0.25 per file reviewed)
