What GitColony is
GitColony provides collaborative code review and pull request management for GitHub and Bitbucket repositories. Reviewers’ progress is saved, so unfinished reviews can resume without repeating completed work. Pull requests sharing an origin branch can be linked and merged after review and policy checks. Teams can assign mandatory or optional reviewers, designate a merger, and set due dates. A configurable business-rules engine enforces review policies and sends incident notifications. QA teams can approve or reject pull requests, and rules can require QA approval before release. Listed integrations include Jenkins, Jira, Trello, Slack, Hipchat, and the Gitcolony CLI; GitLab is marked coming soon. Gitcolony.com is cloud hosted, while Enterprise runs on customer servers behind their firewall and ships as a Docker container. Enterprise includes maintenance, support, updates, upgrades, and listed emergency assistance. Licenses require 10-seat packs at $2,500 a year, with a 45-day trial.
