GitKarma is not a gamification system for pull requests, but rather a meaningful quality control mechanism—similar to linting, tests, or build checks. It creates a credit-based economy that ensures developers contribute to code reviews before submitting their own work.
Quality Check Mechanism
Like other CI/CD checks, PRs that don't meet the funding requirement won't pass—ensuring developers participate in the review process. This keeps repositories clean and balanced.
Credit Economy
Earn credits by reviewing others' PRs, with points based on PR complexity and review quality. Creating a PR requires spending these credits.
AI Analysis
Our AI evaluates PR complexity and review thoroughness to assign fair point values.
Engineering Excellence
Beyond just enforcing reviews, GitKarma's roadmap includes incorporating additional best practices as protected checks, helping teams build better software engineers.
