Gitcolony vs Sourcetrail: What are the differences?

What is Gitcolony? The next generation of pull requests. Gitcolony encourages developers to share early feedback, do partial reviews, reduce rework and leverage the knowledge of the whole group. Teams become more efficient by adding visibility to the process.

What is Sourcetrail? Get productive on unfamiliar source code. Sourcetrail is a cross-platform source explorer for C/C++ and Java. It helps software engineers explore and navigate unknown source code quickly and thoroughly by combining an interactive graph visualization, a concise code view and a powerful search algorithm, all built into an easy-to-use cross-platform developer tool.

Gitcolony and Sourcetrail can be categorized as "Code Review" tools.

Some of the features offered by Gitcolony are:

• set up and enforce your own custom rules to keep your code quality under control. Gitcolony helps you reinforce your code review policies and best practices your team follows informally
• collaborate with your team in real time, performing progressive checks to avoid titanic reviews
• encourage software developers with performance rankings and gamification techniques

On the other hand, Sourcetrail provides the following key features:

• Index your Source Code - Sourcetrail's in-depth static analysis finds all definitions and references within your source files. You can choose from several methods for project setup.
• Find any Symbol - Use Sourcetrail's search field to quickly find any symbol within the whole codebase. The fuzzy keyword matching gives you the best matches with just a few keystrokes
• Navigate Visually - The graph visualization provides a quick overview of any class, method, field, etc., and all its relations. The graph is fully interactive. Use it to move through the codebase by focusing on other nodes and edges.
