Local Review
Overview
Local Review is your intelligent pre-commit companion in Qodo Gen. Before you push your code, Local Review helps you understand what’s changed and why — surfacing insights, suggestions, and quick fixes for cleaner commits and faster PRs.
This feature replaces the need for manual code reviews before commit, ensuring consistency, correctness, and adherence to your team’s standards.
How It Works
When you choose Local Review from the welcome screen, Qodo Gen scans all your uncommitted changes and provides a full contextual analysis. It presents a structured summary of updates across your project and offers actionable improvements.
The workflow includes:
Holistic Review Aggregates all local file changes and summarizes them by scope and purpose.
Thematic Walkthrough Groups modified files by topics such as features, fixes, refactors, and more - helping you review related changes together.
Intelligent Insights Detects potential issues and classifies them into categories like correctness, style, performance, and best practices.
Instant Fixes Apply suggestions directly with one click - no need to switch contexts or open multiple files.
Project Alignment Ensures all agent-written and user-modified code aligns with your team’s conventions, style guides, and PR expectations.
When to Use Local Review
Use Local Review right before committing or pushing your changes. It’s especially useful when:
You’ve made multiple updates across files.
You want to validate the quality of agent-generated code.
You want to prevent small issues from surfacing during PR review.
