What triggers a branch analysis?

For GitHub repositories, if you've enabled our pull request integration, opening and pushing new commits to a pull request will automatically trigger a branch analysis.

For all other situations, you can manually trigger a branch comparison at any time by viewing the branch's page in Code Climate, and clicking the "refresh" icon in the top-right corner of the page. When you do so, you'll initially see a "loading" message. In most cases, you can wait a few minutes, and then refresh the page for a complete branch analysis.
