proposal: Enable Gemini Code Review as default review helper #746
Description
Describe the feature
Why do you need this feature?
I recommend introducing Gemini as an automatic PR review tool to improve efficiency and reduce the pressure on maintainers
Additional context
Purpose
Introduce Gemini’s automated code review capabilities so that every new PR receives an initial quality check before human review. This includes style consistency, potential issue detection, PR summary generation, and optional fix suggestions.
Background and feasibility
Gemini Code Assist integrates through a GitHub App. Once installed and granted access to the target repository, it automatically appears as a reviewer. No additional scripts or GitHub Actions are required. Within a few minutes after a PR is opened, the Gemini bot performs an initial review.
How to enable
-
Install Gemini Code Assist from GitHub Marketplace and grant access to the repository. https://github.com/marketplace/gemini-code-assist
-
After installation, all new PRs will automatically trigger:
- Automated review feedback
- Automated PR summary
- Inline code suggestions with ready-to-commit patches
Expected benefits
- Automated initial review to improve reviewer efficiency
- Consistent review standards with fewer omissions
- Faster PR processing and shorter merge cycles
- Reduced repetitive manual review workload
- Higher baseline code quality
