Bark - AI Code Reviewer
Bark is a command-line tool that uses AI to review code. It can help identify potential issues, suggest improvements, and generate commit messages.
Features
- AI-powered code review: Get feedback from an AI assistant.
- Multiple reviewers: Choose from a variety of "reviewers" with different personalities, such as Linus Torvalds, Uncle Bob, Guido van Rossum, or Yoda.
- Custom instructions: Provide custom instructions to the AI to tailor the review.
- Review commits, branches, or working directory: Analyse code at any stage of development.
- Interactive TUI: View the review in a user-friendly terminal interface.
- Generate commit messages: Automatically generate commit messages based on changes.
Installation
To install Bark, use go install:
go install github.com/ionut-t/bark@latest
Usage
To review the changes in the current working directory, simply run bark:
bark
By default, bark will review all tracked changes in the working directory. To review only the staged changes, use the --staged or -s flag:
bark --staged
To compare the current branch to a specific branch, use the --branch or -b flag:
bark --branch <branch-name>
To select a commit to review from a list of recent commits, use the --commit or -t flag:
bark --commit
To use a specific reviewer, use the --as flag:
bark --as linus
To provide custom instructions to the reviewer, use the --instructions or -i flag with the name of the instruction file:
bark --instructions <instruction-name>
Configuration
Bark uses a configuration file located at $HOME/.bark/config.toml. You can edit this file directly or use the config command to manage your settings.
To set your preferred editor, LLM provider, or model, use the config command with the appropriate flags:
bark config --editor nvim
bark config --provider gemini
bark config --model gemini-2.5-pro
Reset
To reset the reviewers and instructions to their default state use the reset command.
To reset only the reviewers, use the --reviewers or -r flag:
bark reset --reviewers
To reset only the instructions, use the --instructions or -i flag:
bark reset --instructions
To perform a hard reset, which removes all custom files and re-installs the defaults, use the --hard flag:
bark reset --reviewers --hard
