How it works

From chat window
to PR review in three steps

Save the reasoning, linked to your commits.

The prompt, decisions, and trade-offs are captured as structured context — automatically linked to the commits that produced it.

Sync to cloud. Surface on PRs.

Push your contexts to the cloud and share them across your team. gitwhy-bot post the full reasoning to pull requests — so reviewers see why, not just the diff.
