gitStream
Boston, Massachusetts, USA
What it is
gitStream uses YAML configuration files to automate pull request workflows and support code review. It can add context to pull requests, estimate review time, flag Jira information or missing tests, and identify deleted files. Automations can assign reviewers or code experts based on pull request contents, notify security teams about sensitive changes, and merge changes designated as safe, small fixes or work from trusted teams. LinearB's AI services can generate pull request descriptions and review code changes. Setup guides cover GitHub, GitHub Server, GitLab and Bitbucket Cloud; gitStream is available on the web or self-hosted. The free account has a monthly cap on pull requests that can trigger automations. Once reached, new pull requests do not run automations and the gitStream check is marked Skipped. Paid pricing starts at $29/user/mo billed annually. A 45-day Essentials trial without a credit card is currently available only to GitHub Cloud users. LinearB says it uses Git metadata, deletes shallow-cloned data after processing, and does not scan, analyze or save code.
