What's New in CodeRabbit: December 2025 Edition

#ai #javascript #productivity #beginners

December brought a powerful update focused on scaling configuration management across large organizations. Here's what we shipped this month.

First, we're excited to share that CodeRabbit was recognized as the 4th fastest-growing AI coding company on Brex's 2025 list and the 15th fastest-growing software vendor overall. A milestone that reflects how teams are embracing AI-native code review.

Now, here's the December 2025 update:

Configuration Inheritance (Dec 12)

Managing settings across dozens of repositories just got simpler. With configuration inheritance, you can now define settings once at the organization level and let individual repos inherit them.

How it works:

Enable with inheritance: true in your .coderabbit.yaml file

Repos automatically pull settings from parent levels (organization, central config, defaults)
Override specific values locally while keeping everything else inherited
Use inheritance: false to opt out and create fully isolated configurations

This is especially useful for teams that want consistent baseline settings across all projects but need flexibility for special cases, like stricter rules for production code or relaxed settings for experimental repos.

See the configuration inheritance documentation for setup examples.
