Code review is an essential part of all your software development projects. But sometimes, your org follows an inefficient PR process, applying the same sets of policies to every pull or merge request, regardless of the change. This can increase the lead time from making a change to releasing it to production. Your teams’ cycle times will also take a massive blow, and your devs will be frustrated.
But new methods are constantly emerging to make the PR lifecycle smoother. These often mix automation and human interaction to reduce the time to merge. In this article, you’ll learn about some of the newer tools that help automate your workflow, including GitHub Actions, code owners, and LinearB’s very own gitStream.
