Code Climate vs GitCop: What are the differences?
Developers describe Code Climate as "Automated Ruby Code Review". After each Git push, Code Climate analyzes your code for complexity, duplication, and common smells to determine changes in quality and surface technical debt hotspots. On the other hand, GitCop is detailed as "Automated Commit Message Validation for GitHub Pull Requests". Free for open source projects;Any time a pull request is raised on your repository, each commit in the pull request is checked against the repository rules. If any commits do not follow the provided rules, a comment is left against the pull request.
