Steps
- Create an account at kodus.io or self-host Kodus
- Connect Azure DevOps — in the Connect your Git tool step of onboarding, open the Azure Repos tab, click Connect via token, and enter your Azure Repos organization name and Personal Access Token (you can also connect later from Repositories in the sidebar)
- Select repositories — choose which Azure DevOps repositories Kodus should review
- Webhooks — Kodus creates the pull request service hooks automatically when you save the selection. If that didn’t happen (typically on self-hosted installs), register them manually with the Azure DevOps Webhooks guide
- Open a pull request — Kodus reviews it automatically
What you get
- Automated reviews on every PR
- Comments posted directly in the pull request
- Customizable rules, review categories, and a minimum severity threshold
- Business logic validation against linked work items
Custom configuration
Drop akodus-config.yml in your repo root to customize behavior per repository. The file overrides web settings once kodus Config File Overrides Web Preferences is on for that repository (Code review → General).
