== Guidelines ==
 
Please adhere to the following guidelines to perform and obtain code reviews (CRs) in the context of Software Heritage development:
 
# '''CRs are strongly recommended''' for any non-trivial code change, but not mandatory (nor enforced at the VCS level).
# The CR [[Code review in Phabricator|'''workflow''']] is implemented using Phabricator/Differential.
# Explicitly '''suggest reviewer'''(s) when submitting new CR requests: either the most knowledgeable person(s) for the target code or the general [https://forge.softwareheritage.org/project/view/50/ reviewers] group (which is the [https://forge.softwareheritage.org/H18 default]).
# '''Review anything you want''': no matter the suggested reviewer(s), feel free to review any outstanding CR.
# '''One LGTM is enough''': feel free to approve any outstanding CR.
# '''Review every day''': CRs should be timely as fellow developers will wait for them. To make CRs sustainable each developer should strive to dedicate a fixed minimum amount of CR time every (work) day.
 
For more detailed suggestions (and much more) on the motivational and practical aspects of code reviews see Good reads below.
