Free 'Gemini Code Assist for GitHub' Consumer Code Review Bot Fully Shut Down

#Gemini CLI#Gemini Code Assist#Google#Antigravity CLI

The consumer version of “Gemini Code Assist for GitHub,” a free code review bot for GitHub that Google launched in February 2025, was fully shut down on July 17, 2026. The tool provided free automated pull request reviews to students, individual developers, freelancers, and startups, closing out roughly a year and five months of operation. This follows the shutdown of the consumer version of Gemini CLI (June 18, 2026), marking the second wave of tool consolidation as Google shifts focus to Antigravity.

Details

  • What it did: Simply by installing it on a GitHub repository, it performed automated code reviews on pull requests. Users appreciated being able to customize review criteria with their own style guide
  • Phased shutdown: New installs of the consumer version were disabled starting June 18, 2026, in a “deprecation” phase, followed by a full shutdown on July 17, 2026. All code review activity by the app has now stopped entirely
  • Scope of impact: Only the free consumer version is affected. The enterprise version of “Gemini Code Assist for GitHub,” available via Google Cloud, is unaffected by this change and remains available as before
  • Background: As with Gemini CLI, Google is consolidating its developer-facing agent tools under the “Antigravity” brand and is progressively winding down its free consumer tools
  • Developer reaction: Artem Russakovskii, the developer who first flagged the shutdown on X, commented that he’ll “actually miss it — it was pretty good at catching bugs and issues,” adding it to his list of “services killed by Google”

How to try it

  • The consumer version of “Gemini Code Assist for GitHub” can no longer be reinstalled or used, so anyone who needs automated code review on GitHub will need to revert to manual review or consider switching to another review tool
  • Organizations with a Gemini Code Assist Standard/Enterprise license through Google Cloud can continue using the enterprise version of Gemini Code Assist for GitHub as before
