## Project history and usage

CodeRabbit CLI is the command-line surface for CodeRabbit's AI code review product, aimed at reviewing local Git changes before they reach a pull request.

### Project history

CodeRabbit's official site identifies the company/product as an AI-first pull-request reviewer and lists 2023 as the founding date. The CLI documentation describes the command-line tool as an open beta feature for local reviews, authentication, diagnostics, review modes, and AI-agent integration.

### Adoption history

The CLI sits alongside CodeRabbit's GitHub and GitLab pull-request integrations. Homebrew distributes it as a cask, and the official docs also document a curl-based installer, making it available to terminal users who want review feedback before pushing changes.

### How it is used

Users install the coderabbit or cr command, authenticate with cr auth login, run cr inside a Git repository, and optionally use cr --agent for structured output consumed by coding agents. The CLI can run diagnostics with cr doctor and store local review history for cr stats.

### Why package nerds care

Package nerds care because it packages an AI review SaaS as a local terminal tool with a conventional Homebrew cask, a short cr alias, and repository-local YAML configuration. It is also a good example of the 2020s shift from editor-only AI assistance to command-line agent workflows.

### Timeline

- 2023: CodeRabbit founding date listed in official site metadata.
- 2020s: CodeRabbit expands from pull-request reviews to CLI and AI-agent workflows.
- 2026: Homebrew cask distributes CodeRabbit CLI 0.6.4.
