Bidirectional GitHub & GitLab Sync

Wharby functions as a high-throughput code review overlay for Git repositories hosted on external SCM providers, including GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.

1. Zero-Migration Architecture

You do not need to move your repository or change your remote hosting to use Wharby:

1. Your repository remains on GitHub as the primary source of truth.
2. When developers push to Gerrit (refs/for/main), Wharby opens or links the corresponding Pull Request on GitHub.
3. Review discussions and inline comments happen in Gerrit's high-speed interface.
4. When a patchset is approved and submitted in Gerrit, Wharby synchronizes the merge back to GitHub automatically.

2. GitHub App Setup

To connect a GitHub organization or repository:

1. In your Wharby tenant dashboard, click Connect GitHub App.
2. Grant repository read/write and webhook permissions.
3. Wharby will automatically register webhooks and mirror branch references.

3. Commit Status Check Scorecards

Wharby posts unified status check scorecards directly to GitHub PRs:

• Gerrit Review Status: Reports current Code-Review score (+2, +1, -1, -2).
• CI Verification: Aggregates external CI runner results into Gerrit's Verified label.
• Merge Readiness: Visual indicator when all submit requirements are satisfied.
