Let us take care of the rest and focus on what you do best.

We scan your merged changes and generate a PR

CODEOWNERS will create a new PR with a description explaining your code ownership and include a brand new CODEOWNERS file for you to add to your repo.

We recalculate owners everytime you merge new changes

With each PR your team merges, we scan and recalculate to make sure nothing has changed.

Merge your new CODEOWNERS PR to save ownership

You can merge our PR when you are ready to add or update the CODEOWNERS file in your repository. You can also manually make changes on that branch if you disagree with us. We won't be offended.

What companies are saying about code ownership.

We found that high levels of ownership, specifically operationalized as high values of Ownership and Major, and low values of Minor, are associated with less defects.

One way that we staved off chaos without compromising engineers’ autonomy was implementing a codeowners systemβ€”this ensures that the right people get eyes on any given change, without imposing major changes to our review process.

This allows us to hold the entire team accountable for the code quality under their ownership, and avoids problems that arise when the ownership is centered on individuals.
