The code host is where the project's pull requests, reviews, checks and protected branches live. Its settings decide which reviews and checks a change needs, and the agent reaches it from the command line or through its API.

Finding it

The git remote names the host (git remote -v). The host's command-line client, logged in, reaches pull requests, reviews and checks; its API reaches the rest. The rules are in the host's settings and in the repository: branch protection, a CODEOWNERS file, deployment environments.

Using it

  • Read a pull request: gh pr view --comments and gh pr checks on GitHub, glab mr view on GitLab.
  • Required reviews and checks: code owners and branch protection, so nothing merges without the review and the checks it needs.
  • A person before a deploy: a deployment environment with required reviewers holds the deploy until someone approves it.
  • History for metrics: gh api or glab api returns pull requests with their times, from which flow metrics are computed over weeks.

Examples: GitHub (gh), GitLab (glab).
