Overview

Apply custom code review settings to specific folders in your repository. Ideal for monorepos where different areas have different standards or ownership. Kody selects a single config per PR: Directory → Repository → Global
Learn how settings flow between levels in Config Inheritance & Overrides.

​
How it works

  • Configure any folder at any depth (e.g., api/src/services)
  • Configure as many folders as you want
  • No overlapping: if you configure api/src/services, you cannot also configure api/src/services/users

​
Selection rules

  • One configured directory touched: Uses that directory’s config
  • No configured directories touched: Uses repository config (or global if no repo config)
  • Two or more configured directories touched: Escalates to repository config (or global if no repo config)
Kody uses one config per PR to keep reviews predictable. Mixing configs causes conflicts.

​
Examples

  • Single configured directory
  • No configured directories
  • Multiple configured directories
You configured src/microservice-alpha. PR changes files in src/microservice-alpha and unconfigured folders.Uses microservice-alpha config.

​
Setup

  1. Open your repository’s Code Review settings
  2. Add directory entries and assign configurations
  3. Save changes
If you also use kodus-config.yml, it overrides web settings (see Config Priority in General settings).
