Reviewing Code

Code Review Server makes the review process fast, customizable, and integrated with your local environment.

Workflow

From your client (Web or Emacs), you can jump directly from the Pull Request list into a dedicated code review view.

Fast and Cached

All data is cached locally. This means when you open a review, it loads nearly instantly. You don't have to wait for GitHub API calls to fetch diffs or comments every time you switch files or reviews.

Fully Functional

The review environment is fully functional. You can: - View Diffs: See changes with syntax highlighting. - Read Comments: View existing comments from other reviewers inline with the code. - Add Comments: Start a review, add pending comments, and submit them all at once. - Reply to Threads: Engage in discussions directly from the interface.

LSP Integration

Because the server runs locally and can manage git worktrees, it can integrate with Language Server Protocols (LSP). This allows features like: - Go to Definition: Jump to symbols in the PR code. - Hover Information: See types and documentation. - Find References: Explore codebase usage.

This gives you the power of your full IDE environment while reviewing code, something that is often missing from web-based review tools.
