# The Gitar Dashboard

> Understand Gitar's PR dashboard comment, status updates, and CI failure analysis

export const ThemeImage = ({src, alt}) => {
  let lightSrc, darkSrc;
  if (src.includes("-light.")) {
    lightSrc = src;
    darkSrc = src.replace("-light.", "-dark.");
  } else if (src.includes("-dark.")) {
    darkSrc = src;
    lightSrc = src.replace("-dark.", "-light.");
  } else {
    lightSrc = src;
    darkSrc = src;
  }
  return <span>
      <img className="block dark:hidden rounded-lg border" src={lightSrc} alt={alt} />
      <img className="hidden dark:block rounded-lg border" src={darkSrc} alt={alt} />
    </span>;
};

Gitar works directly in your PR interface. All interactions, status updates, and approvals happen right where you code -- no context switching to external dashboards.

<Note>Add the `gitar-skip` label to any PR to skip all Gitar processing (code review, CI analysis, rule evaluation) for that PR.</Note>

## Dashboard Comment

When a new PR is created, Gitar posts a comment used for status updates and controls.

<ThemeImage src="/assets/images/dashboard-comment-light.png" alt="Gitar dashboard comment" />

Gitar posts status updates about its activity by updating this comment in realtime. You can control default behavior like enabling automatic CI failure fixing etc.

## CI Failure Analysis

When CI fails, Gitar automatically analyzes the failure, identifies the root cause, and can push a fix. See [CI Failure Analysis](/features/ci-failure-analysis) for details.

## Interactive Commands

Comment on a PR to interact with Gitar — request fixes, ask questions, or toggle settings. See [Commands & Interactions](/commands) for the full list.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Gitar Isn't Responding to Comments">
    If Gitar isn't responding to your comments, verify:

    * Your comment addresses Gitar — start with `Gitar` (case-insensitive), `@gitar`, or `@gitar-bot` (GitHub). Replies to one of Gitar's own comments work without a prefix.
    * You have write access to the repository (only users with write access can trigger Gitar responses)
    * If you want Gitar to push a fix automatically, auto-apply is enabled on the PR — toggle it with `gitar auto-apply:on`
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="CI Still Failing After Gitar's Fixes">
    If CI continues to fail after Gitar's attempts:

    * Multiple iterations may be needed -- complex CI failures sometimes require several rounds of fixes
    * Gitar will automatically iterate on new CI failures to resolve them and make CI green
    * Provide additional context by commenting with more details about the specific failure
    * Gitar maintains full context of your PR throughout its lifetime, so you can comment to steer behavior at any time
    * Consider [configuring repository instructions](/configuration/repository-config) on how to best use your build environments and development practices by giving it custom AI rules
