What is Git?
- Why should all CFers be using it?
Top CF source control software
- GitHub was is made by Microsoft now
- GitLabs
What are Branches, Pull Requests and Merges
- Branches of the code tree
- Code edit conflicts - merge required
- Most edits in different parts of the code base usually don’t need a merge with humans
- Risk of breaking the build
- CI - Continuous Integration
- CD - Continuous development - automated testing (TDD)
- Pull request (PR) is the request to do the merge + code review
- More rapid deployment cycles on the cloud
Why do Merges suck in most companies?
- Waiting on humans to do the code review, who is best to review this change?
- Getting up to speed on that particular part of the code and why the change was made
How does gitStream help?
- It analyses the pull request
- Uses CM YAML file to decide
- Types of change
- Small change - auto-approve
- Standard change - who will review
- Critical change - to core code
- Who is the best person to review
- Tags the PR
- Compare to triage at hospital ER department
- Ideal
- Small branches
- Fast PRs
- PR 100% faster (average time from 7 days to 3.5 days)
- Visibility and statistics on merge times
gitStream features
- Triage of PRs
- Estimated time to review
- Works with VS Code
- Stateful labels, color coding
What does gitStream cost?
- gitStream is free for all
- Reporting etc is free for upto 8 developers
- Paid Entreprise features beyond this
- https://linearb.io/pricing/
Hack-tober fest support for spam PRs
Is this just for commercial repos or can open source projects use it too? Any GitHub hosted repo
- Both
Install
- GitHub marketplace
Roadmap
- Adding to GitLabs, BitBucket etc
- VS Code extension
Mentioned in this episode
- gitStream
- Continuous Merge, a way to categorize and speed up code reviews on GitHub
