Platform Support
Which Gitar features work on each code host, and what differs.
Gitar reviews pull requests on GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket. Code review, rules, and CI failure analysis run on every host.
What differs is mostly merge control, plus how a fix is applied and whether the host shows a verified badge. The table below is the full picture.

gitar fixon the finding. On Azure DevOps Server, follow the comment checkbox instructions when the checkbox is present. - 3Only where the instance enforces merge-request approval rules; elsewhere Gitar places no gate and posts no blocking comment. See Block Merge.
- 4Bitbucket records the review and shows it, and does not treat it as a merge gate. A person can still merge.
- 5Bitbucket Cloud has no native auto-merge to arm.
- 6Data Center has no "merge when ready" flag. Gitar watches the PR and merges it once Bitbucket's own merge checks pass, so there is no armed state in the Bitbucket UI.
- 7GitLab merges using the project's own merge-method setting.
- 8Data Center reports build status on a poll rather than a push, so analysis starts a little later than on the other hosts.
- 9The commit is signed and verifies locally, with no badge on the platform. See Signed Commits.
- 10Gitar registers its key when you connect. See Signed Commits.
Concourse connects through GitHub commit statuses. Other code hosts are outside its supported setup.
