Introducing Gitar

AI code review that fixes your code

Sonar has acquired Gitar, bringing AI-native code review to the only verification platform purpose-built for how agents code. A new layer in Sonar's zero-trust, multilayered verification platform.

Why Gitar

Gitar uses agentic reasoning to review code, generate fixes, validate them against your CI, and commit to the branch. A critical AI code review layer in Sonar's multilayered verification solution.

Save hours of toil every day

Gitar automatically analyzes CI failures so you stop slogging through logs. It de-duplicates failures, detects flaky tests, and fixes remaining build, lint, test, and other failures.

Speed up code review cycles

Gitar automatically reviews every pull and merge request, answers questions in context, and applies fixes, keeping reviews moving across time zones without the back-and-forth wait.

Set your rules in plain language

Define custom review policies and automations in natural language, with no scripts or YAML required. Gitar enforces your standards on every PR, automatically.

Keep code in your infrastructure

Run Gitar's agent inside your own infrastructure. Your source code, secrets, and build logs never leave your environment.

Meet Gitar: AI code review joins Sonar’s multilayered verification platform

Join us on June 11 for a live introduction to Gitar. We will walk through what it is, how it works, and what it looks like in practice, with a real demo and plenty of time for your questions.

In this live demo and Q&A, you will learn how:

  • Gitar automatically reviews PRs, analyzes CI failures, and pushes validated fixes directly to the branch
  • Gitar keeps iterating  until the build is  green—no fix lands unless it passes your CI pipeline
  • Gitar and SonarQube work together as part of the industry's first end-to-end AI code verification platform

Frequently asked questions

Gitar is an AI-native code validation solution that adds a context-aware review layer to the pull request lifecycle. It reviews every change with full awareness of your codebase, team conventions, and the intent behind the code, catching functional bugs, logic errors, and behavioral issues. When it finds a problem, it generates a fix, validates it against your CI pipeline, and commits it to the branch. It does not consider the fix done until the build passes. Beyond review, Gitar can manage PRs from creation to merge, enforce custom rules defined in natural language, and surface insights only possible with AI.

They are designed to complement each other. SonarQube provides structured, consistent, algorithmic  review across 40+ languages, covering code quality, security vulnerabilities, architectural drift, and technical debt. It is fast, auditable, and operates in a zero-trust way with respect to LLMs. It does not assume AI-generated code is correct, and verifies it against defined quality profiles and gates regardless of how the code was written.

Gitar works alongside SonarQube and brings AI-native intelligence to the entire verification workflow. It reads code the way AI reads it, with awareness of context, intent, and the logic of the change as a whole, extending coverage to functional bugs, logic errors, and behavioral issues by reviewing what the code is actually trying to do.

Together, the combination is greater than the sum of its parts. SonarQube's deterministic precision and Gitar's contextual intelligence reinforce each other.  Issues one approach catches inform the other, and the coverage they provide jointly closes gaps neither could alone. A CI pass alone does not mean code is production-safe. Layering both approaches means more of what matters gets caught before it ships. Together, they provide a highly comprehensive and accurate review and verification of your code.

No. Gitar and SonarQube bring different review lenses to the same codebase. SonarQube uses mathematical reasoning approaches to verify code against a wide range of known issues: security vulnerabilities, reliability problems, maintainability concerns, and architectural drift. It does this looking at data flows, control flows, syntax, and a range of other topics. On top of that, it applies defined quality profiles and gates consistently to every change, ensuring you can enforce your standards in your codebases. Gitar uses generative AI to review the logic and intent of the change in context, extending coverage to functional and behavioral issues that emerge from understanding what the code is trying to do.

The two are additive and complementary. Used together, they provide deeper and more accurate review than either delivers alone, covering both the known issue catalog that deterministic analysis excels at and the context-dependent logic that AI review is built for.

When a pull or merge request is opened, Gitar automatically reviews the code and posts inline review comments along with suggested fixes. If CI fails, it analyzes and root causes the failures, and suggests a fix, which it can commit automatically or on demand. You can interact with Gitar directly to ask questions and request changes. You can also configure it to automatically manage the PR life cycle including blocking on issues, iteratively fixing issues until green, approving, and merging. Gitar also runs any custom checks and automations, integrating with Jira, Linear, Slack, and other common developer tools.

Gitar supports GitHub and GitLab for code review and version control, including self-hosted instances. For CI, GitHub Actions and GitLab Pipelines, CircleCI, Buildkite, and Bitrise.

Yes. Gitar does not retain source code, and your code is never used to train AI models. Gitar has no training and zero data retention agreements with all our LLM providers. As an option, you can bring your own Anthropic LLM API key. For teams with strict security requirements, the self-hosted deployment runs the Gitar agent runtime entirely inside your infrastructure. No code leaves your infrastructure and no secrets are exposed. Gitar is SOC 2 certified, ISO 27001 certified, and GDPR verified.

Gitar is available in three plans: Core at $20 per user per month, Pro at $40 per user per month, and Enterprise at custom pricing. A 14-day free trial of the Pro plan is available with no credit card required. For a full breakdown of what each plan includes, see the pricing page at gitar.ai/pricing.

Nothing changes in how Gitar works today. Your existing integrations, CI connections, and configurations remain in place. Over time, Sonar will deepen the integration between Gitar and SonarQube, giving you a more complete view of code quality, security, and review status in one place.
