After you finish[integrating CodeRabbit with your Git platform](/platforms/),

you can configure CodeRabbit to best fit the needs of your organization, team,

and individual code repositories.

you can configure CodeRabbit to best fit the needs of your Git platform's organization and repositories.

However, understanding how to configure CodeRabbit lets you tune its behavior

to the particulars of your team's code. A few advantages of manually configuring

CodeRabbitinlcude the following:

CodeRabbitinclude the following:

-Let CodeRabbit deliver its reviews more quickly by giving it guidance onthe level ofreviewdetailyou want.

-Get more meaningful code reviews by specifying the parts ofyourrepository that CodeRabbit should read to gain context.

-Make sure that CodeRabbit works in compliance withyourorganiation's data-retention policies.

-Adjustthe level of detailin CodeRabbit code reviews.

-Customize review instructions to meetyourspecific coding standards.

-Take advantage of agentic workflows that can speed upyourreview cycles.

You can configure CodeRabbit in several ways, from global organization settings

down to configuration directives for specific repositories:

down to configuration directives for specific repositories.

- Configure the default behavior of CodeRabbit

across your whole organization, using the CodeRabbit web UI.

- Configure the behavior of CodeRabbit when reviewing pull requests in a specific repository. You can do this in two ways:

- Use the CodeRabbitweb UI.

- Add a`coderabbit.yaml` file to the top level of your repository.

To determine its behavior with a specific repository, CodeRabbit applies the configuration methods in the following order of precedence, from highest to lowest:

If you want to apply the same CodeRabbit configuration to all of your organization's repositories, then

you can manage organizational settings using the CodeRabbit web UI.

1. The[repository's`coderabbit.yaml` file](/getting-started/configure-coderabbit), if it has one.

1. The[repository's settings](/guides/repository-settings) as they appear in the CodeRabbit web UI.

1. The[organization's settings](/guides/organization-settings) as they appear in the CodeRabbit web UI.

For more information, see[Set your organization preferences](/guides/organization-settings).

If you are new to CodeRabbit, then we encourage you to explore the settings available through the CodeRabbit web UI

to become familiar with the options available to you, and their default values.

If you want to apply separate CodeRabbit configuration to your organization's different repositories, then you can

manage repository-specific CodeRabbit settings in two ways:

- Use the CodeRabbit web interface.

- Add a`coderabbit.yaml` file to the top level of your repository.

For more information, see[Set your repository preferences](/guides/repository-settings).

While the web interface provides and easier way to explore the available configuration options for your repository, we recommend using a`coderabbit.yaml` file as a best practice. For more information, see[Fine-tune reviews using YAML files](/guides/setup-best-practices#yaml).

The[Initial configuration guide](/guides/initial-configuration) tours you through several settings that we

recommend that you review after you set up CodeRabbit with your organization.
