A self-hosted PR reviewer: you own the trigger, not a GitHub App

A self-hosted PR reviewer: you own the trigger, not a GitHub App

Short summary

commitbrief remote pr is a self-hosted CLI alternative to GitHub App-based PR reviewers: you trigger reviews on-demand from your machine using your own auth, with no webhook infrastructure required. The tool fetches diffs through gh, runs the review engine, and posts line-anchored findings as comments. If code changes mid-review, it reruns once; if still volatile, it skips posting to avoid stale findings.

  • •Trigger PR reviews on-demand from CLI using your own GitHub auth
  • •No webhook infrastructure or hosted service required
  • •Automatically re-reviews if code changes, skips posting if PR is too volatile
