Gitar

Gitar is Sonar's AI-powered code-change verification agent for reviewing pull requests and automating validation. It produces high-signal code review findings, diagnoses CI failures by separating real breakage from flaky tests and infrastructure noise, de-duplicates failures, and identifies root causes. Under rules defined in plain language and versioned in the repository, Gitar can generate fixes, commit them to the branch, and iterate until CI passes. Teams can specify what it may fix, what it must escalate, what blocks a merge, and whether it can approve and merge changes. It integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, and CircleCI. Its analytics dashboards report metrics such as time to merge, review cycles, CI failure patterns, flake rates, and fix rates. Sonar states that Gitar does not retain source code, use customer code to train models, or retain data through its LLM providers.

What Gitar is used for

3 uses taken from transcripts — each links to the moment in the video.

  • Agentic PR validation workflow: AI code review, CI failure analysis, automated fixes, and progressive auto-approval/merging of pull requests.

  • An agentic solution for validating pull requests, now part of Sonar after its startup (Gitar) was acquired. It reviews PRs, analyzes CI failures, blocks on uncovered issues, autofixes them, and can progressively move toward auto-approve and auto-merge as teams build trust in its precision.

  • An agentic PR validation tool that reviews PRs with minimal noise, analyzes CI failures and catches flaky tests, autofixes issues until the PR is green, and can auto-approve and auto-merge based on user-defined rules. Now being shipped as part of Sonar.
