pull-request-size-reminder

pull-request-size-reminder

A command-line tool that queries git, reporting the size of your next pull request.

Why?

In a busy team you want to minimise the amount of time your colleagues spend reviewing your code. Small pull requests are usually the result of stories with a well-defined scope. Even with that, sometimes it gets away from us - especially if you are unfamiliar with the code. This package is intended to remind developers that the inevitable pull request may be large enough to annoy your colleagues.

It is intended to be used in a pre-commit and/or pre-push git hook, and is particularly useful in new projects or teams with less experienced developers.

Example output

Installation

npm install --save-dev pull-request-size-reminder

Usage

You can call the package from the command-line, through node.

npx pull-request-size-reminder

    "precommit": "someScript && node pull-request-size-reminder"
  }
