Magic PR Journeys

March 22, 2021

I was recently having a conversation about Pull Request reviews with a colleague of mine and I mentioned that when I’m ready to look at code for a PR, I review one commit at a time in order. After a confused pause, she asked how I could get the full context by only looking at one commit at a time. I supposed to her that perhaps the full context is not what facilitates a better review. Instead, we should follow the journey the developer who opened the PR has set out for us through their commits.
