Change Intelligence

Know the risk before you read the diff.

Change Intelligence runs the moment you open a PR — pure heuristics over your diff and Git history. Instant risk signal, zero AI cost, before you write a single review comment.

  • PR Complexity (0–100) — file count, LOC delta, module spread, and downstream impact
  • Merge Confidence — flags changes to auth, networking, and dependency containers
  • Breaking Changes — scans for removed or renamed function signatures automatically
  • Test Coverage Advice — files missing their test counterpart are flagged immediately
  • Hotspot detection — surfaces files with many recent commits so you know where to look first

Impact Explorer

See what breaks before you push.

You changed 3 files. But 200 other files depend on them. The Impact Explorer traces those dependencies and shows you exactly which modules carry the most risk — so you don't find out in production.

  • Select a file → see every downstream file that imports it
  • 3 view modes — Simple, Heatmap, and List
  • Risk levels per file, ranked by how many things depend on it
  • Runs locally — no AI call, no cost

More features
merge_gate

Merge Gate

Set thresholds for complexity, confidence, and breaking changes. MergePilot warns or blocks before you hit Merge — not after CI fails and the team is waiting.

warn block
secret_scanner

Secret Scanner

Scans your diff for API keys, tokens, and credentials before they're sent to an LLM or committed to the repo. Redacts automatically — locally, before anything leaves your machine.

api_key private_key
post_comments

Post to MR

When you're satisfied with the analysis, pick the findings you agree with and post them as real inline comments — directly from your machine to the PR.

AI Models

Your keys. Your model.
Your machine.

MergePilot sends your diff directly from your machine to your chosen AI provider. No proxy, no data retention, no middleman. Use any model — or run fully offline with Ollama.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about MergePilot and how it works.

What is a Pull Request (PR) or Merge Request (MR)?

A Pull Request (GitHub, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps) and a Merge Request (GitLab) are the same concept: a developer proposes code changes for peer review before they are merged into the main branch. MergePilot analyzes both before you even open the review tab.

Does MergePilot send my source code to its servers?

No. MergePilot runs entirely on your machine. When AI analysis is triggered, your diff goes directly from your computer to the AI provider you chose (OpenAI, Claude, etc.) using your own API key. MergePilot never receives, stores, or proxies your code.

Which Git hosting platforms are supported?

MergePilot supports GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Gitea, and Forgejo — all 6 major Git hosting platforms, including self-hosted instances.

Is MergePilot free?

Yes. The Free plan includes 5 Pull Request analyses per month, Change Intelligence, Impact Map, Secret Scanner, all themes, and inline comment posting — no credit card required. The Pro plan ($19/month) unlocks unlimited analyses, unlimited repositories, and full MR scope.

What operating systems does MergePilot support?

MergePilot is currently available for macOS 13 Ventura or later, on both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs. Windows and Linux versions are in development.

Which AI models can I use with MergePilot?

Free users can connect OpenAI (GPT-4o, o3-mini) and Anthropic Claude. Pro users also get access to OpenRouter, HuggingFace, and Ollama for fully local, offline analysis with no AI costs at all.
