GitHub

Where code and its review history live

The place most software projects keep their code, their history and their review process. A pull request is the moment a change gets read before it merges, and that is now where people hang automated reviewers. Free for public work and for small private projects.

People on record

Sorted by strength of stance

Does it: documented as part of their own routine. Recommends: explicitly advises other people to do it. Discusses: covered it substantively without clear personal adoption; this can include criticism or disagreement.
