What GitLoop is
GitLoop is an AI assistant that works around a Git codebase. It indexes project context so you can ask questions about the code, generate documentation and unit tests, analyse issues and get help reviewing pull requests and commits.
What you can do with it
- Ask questions about an unfamiliar project
- Generate documentation for existing code
- Draft unit tests
- Get a summary of changes before review
Who it is for
- Teams taking over inherited repositories
- Maintainers of long-lived projects
- Reviewers wanting a first pass
What to watch out for
- Effectiveness depends on repository size, index completeness and question quality
- Private code sent to a third-party service needs permissions and compliance review
- Generated tests and review notes must be confirmed by a developer
- Check repository size limits before committing to it

FAQ
Is it good for new joiners?
Yes for understanding structure and module relationships, combined with running the code locally.

No. It explains, suggests and supplements; real fixes need developers.
What about private repositories?
Confirm how code is indexed, how permissions work and whether your team allows it.
