Configuration inheritance

You can now enable configuration inheritance to share common settings across repositories while allowing individual customizations. When enabled, CodeRabbit merges configuration from parent levels for values not explicitly defined at the current level.What’s new:
  • Opt-in inheritance - Enable with inheritance: true in your repository .coderabbit.yaml configuration file
  • Smart merge behavior - When your repository doesn’t define a setting, it inherits from parent levels; nested settings combine, lists merge without duplicates, and scalars override defaults
  • Hierarchical configuration - Merge across repository, central, organization, and default levels
  • Flexible control - Stop inheritance chain at any level with inheritance: false
Common use cases include setting organization-wide defaults while allowing repository-specific overrides, and creating team-specific configurations that build on parent settings.See the configuration inheritance documentation for setup instructions and examples.

Customizable high-level summaries

You can now customize how CodeRabbit generates the high-level summary in your pull requests — including its content, structure, tone, and formatting.What’s new:
  • Provide your own instructions using the high_level_summary_instructions setting.
  • Format the summary however you like (bullet lists, tables, multi-section layouts, contributor stats, etc.).
  • Use high_level_summary_in_walkthrough to move the summary from the description to the walkthrough section.
Note: This feature is currently in beta for Pro-tier users, and pricing will be announced later.

UI and YAML editing modes in web interface

The web interface now supports both UI and YAML editing modes for organization and repository settings.YAML and UI config switchingWhat’s new:
  • UI Mode (default) - Interactive form with dropdowns, checkboxes, and input fields for guided configuration
  • YAML Mode - Direct YAML editing with syntax highlighting and real-time validation for advanced users
  • Easily switch between modes - Use the Edit YAML button to switch between modes (changes to Return to UI when in YAML mode)
  • Real-time sync - Changes made in either mode are immediately reflected when switching between them
  • Clean YAML output - Only non-default values are displayed in YAML mode for cleaner configuration
  • Clipboard support - Copy the entire YAML configuration to your clipboard for easy transfer to .coderabbit.yaml files
This enhancement makes it easier to manage settings whether you prefer visual forms or direct YAML editing, and ensures consistency between web interface and repository-based configurations.See the organization settings documentation and repository settings documentation for more details.

Improved GitHub integration onboarding

We’ve improved the GitHub integration onboarding experience to make setup faster and easier to follow.What’s new:
  • Organization selection - If you belong to multiple organizations, you’ll now select which organization to install CodeRabbit in directly during the onboarding flow
  • Combined repository and permissions setup - Repository selection and permissions review now happen together in a single step
  • Optional first review - After setup completes, you can immediately trigger a code review on an existing pull request to see CodeRabbit in action, or skip ahead to configure settings
These improvements help you get from signup to your first code review faster.See the GitHub integration documentation for setup instructions.

CLI v0.3.4

The CLI now updates automatically in the background. You no longer need to run coderabbit update - your CLI stays on the latest version without interrupting your workflow.This release also adds agent detection to help us build better integrations. When you run the CLI through Claude Code or Cursor, we can now detect which agent you’re using (both agents identify themselves via environment variables). This helps us understand usage patterns and ship faster fixes and features.We’re rolling out v0.3.4 incrementally. To upgrade to this version immediately, run:
curl -fsSL https://cli.coderabbit.ai/install.sh | sh
See the CLI documentation for more details.

Username-based PR review control

Introducing username-based PR review control: automatically skip reviews for pull requests created by specific users. Whether you want to exclude automated bots, service accounts, or specific team members, you can now easily configure CodeRabbit to skip these reviews silently.Simply add the Git provider usernames to your configuration file under the ignore_usernames array, and CodeRabbit will automatically skip reviews for those users without posting any comments. This works alongside our existing label-based controls while giving you even more flexibility in managing your automated review workflow.

Central configuration repository

Introducing central configuration repository: streamline configuration management across your entire organization. Now you can maintain a single source of truth for CodeRabbit settings in a dedicated repository, eliminating the need to update configurations in each repository individually.Key benefits:
  • Maintain consistent code review standards across all repositories
  • Update organization-wide settings from one central location
  • Allow repository-specific overrides when needed
  • Hierarchical configuration for complex organizations (GitLab)
  • Supports GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket Cloud
Setup is simple: create a repository named coderabbit in your organization, install CodeRabbit on this configuration repository, and add your .coderabbit.yaml configuration file. CodeRabbit will automatically detect and apply these settings if no repository-level settings are found.
