#CodeOwners
I can see it now. Five years from now I'll be writing full-time. All my dreams came true. And then at the end of the day, I sit down to rebase this PR I just opened and attempt, yet again, to get reviews from the 11 teams that are codeowners.

Yes this is a programming joke.

This week has been about self-contained Ruby applications, GitHub codeowners validation, a Ruby version manager and a reverse proxy with load balancing and WAF built-in.

`CODEOWNERS files must be under 3 MB in size` wtf

Hmm. I think the most important bits are having a pool of issues with a sufficiently wide difficulty range (probably could reuse the tidy-dev-day tags?) and having enough helpers to get people unstuck / advise on the right solution. It’s “easier” if codeowners are around too if you can manage it

now how do I rollout CODEOWNERS files for 36 repos in a gh org? Idea is to automate adding reviewers to all PR’s.

I have half baked idea involving setting gh teams as codeowners - better than naming individual users as PR reviewers (following ETC principle).

But.. are teams just an abstraction?

When working in a team, controlling who reviews, approves, and merges code is just as important as writing good code. GitHub’s CODEOWNERS file, repository permissions, and teams (groups) provide a structured way to enforce accountability and maintain code quality.

I've released a new GitHub Action that merges PRs automatically if all files changed have the same code owner (using CODEOWNERS) as the submitter, something that surprisingly GitHub can't do on its own.

Anyone has experience with complex PR checks in #github ?

I have a usecase of a more complex codeowners/required Reviewer logic for a big project.
(1 reviewer from Group A, 1 from group B, and 2 reviews from any group)
(For specific branches also a review from group C)
(Other Branch only […]

why is CODEOWNERS a single file somewhere far of that's a pain to edit and not like, a comment at the top of the file (you know, the way people used to manually track this stuff before git), or even (gasp) at the function level?

The field in the project is especially cool since it let's us annotate issues with a number of the `sx` usages impacted by taking on the work in a particular area (basically codeowners) and is updating daily as the migration is ongoing.

“CODEOWNERS files must be under 3 MB in size”

I feel like there’s a story behind this limitation

Work repo shared with 100 app teams. Codeowners set per team. Sr Eng opens MR for their app. Deletes a file under my app.

Asks me for approval via MR.
Open review. Won't approve as you delete my file.

They delete the review and escalate to my director lol.

Github has a bunch of tools for managing pull requests. You can set up branch protection and assign reviews to specific people; the CODEOWNERS file defines SMEs for specific sections #writethedocs

@bagder at $dayjob we have a CODEOWNERS file that specifies a github team as a codeowner.
When you create a non-draft PR, or switch a draft PR to a non-draft (the button is called "ready for review"), it adds the team as a reviewer.

As a result, everyone in the team sees the PR in their […]
