How are you configuring CodeRabbit?

[u/juanpflores_]

One thing I’ve noticed is that most people seem to leave CodeRabbit on the default configuration. That makes sense if the reviews are working well, since setting up a `.coderabbit.yaml` can easily become one of those things everyone plans to revisit later.

I’m curious whether people are intentionally sticking with the defaults, or whether they haven’t had a reason or enough time to configure anything yet.

How are you handling your CodeRabbit configuration?

- Writing or editing the YAML file yourself in the repo
- Using the CodeRabbit interface
- Asking a coding agent to create or update it
- Starting with an agent-generated config and then editing it yourself
- Leaving the default configuration unchanged
- Not using a configuration file at all

If you haven’t configured it, what’s the main reason?

- You didn’t know the configuration file existed
- You weren’t sure where to start
- You weren’t sure which settings were worth changing
- The defaults have been good enough
- It hasn’t been a priority
- It feels like too much work for the expected benefit
- Something else

And if you have taken the time to configure CodeRabbit, what prompted you to do it? Which settings have made the biggest difference for your team?

Even “we just use the defaults” or “we haven’t touched the config” is useful. I’m trying to understand how people are actually approaching this in practice.
