The number of comments per pull request rose by 35%.
A commit is an operation in which a developer records local code changes to a version repository (such as Git), at a relatively fine granularity; a pull request is a formal proposal requesting that branch changes be merged into the mainline, usually containing multiple commits and triggering code review and automated testing.
After introducing AI coding agents, total lines of code increased by an average of 30%, the number of commits increased by 20%, and the number of pull requests (PRs) increased by 23%.
A completed pull request does not equal a reliable delivery result: code may compile and pass narrow-scope tests, yet may violate architectural conventions, plant security vulnerabilities, duplicate existing functionality, or introduce maintenance costs that surface only later.
