Gitar

Application

AI-native code-change verification agent that reviews every pull request in full context, diagnoses CI failures, writes and commits fixes under the team's own merge policy, and iterates until CI passes. Grew out of developer-infrastructure work at Uber; acquired by Sonar in May 2026 and continues to ship under its own name.
