Configuring reviewers

git:reviewer

Add reviewers to a pull request.

# Applicable Events

  • pull_request
  • pull_request.target

# Parameters

# type

Operation type

  • add-reviewer: Adding a reviewer by including the members specified in the reviewers parameter.
  • add-reviewer-from-repo-members: Selecting a member directly from the repository and adding them as a reviewer.
  • add-reviewer-from-group-members: Selecting a member from the parent organization (direct superior organization) of the repository and adding them as a reviewer.
  • add-reviewer-from-outside-collaborator-members: Selecting an external collaborator from outside the repository and adding them as a reviewer.
  • remove-reviewer Removing a specified member from the existing reviewers.

# reviewers

  • type: Array<String> | String
  • required: false

Usernames of the reviewers to add or remove. Separate multiple usernames using , or ;.

For type values add-reviewer or remove-reviewer, it is a required field.

If both reviewers and reviewersConfig are configured, a specified number of reviewers will be randomly selected from both options.

# count

  • type: Number
  • required: false

Specify the number of reviewers to add and randomly select them.

  • type=add-reviewer,The default value for count is the total number of reviewers in the reviewers list, which means all reviewers will be added by default.
  • type=add-reviewer-from-repo-members,The default value for count is 1.
  • type=add-reviewer-from-group-members,The default value for count is 1.
  • type=add-reviewer-from-outside-collaborator-members,The default value for count is 1.

If the number of existing reviewers is less than the specified count, it will be supplemented to meet the required count.

If the number of existing reviewers is greater than or equal to the specified count, then no action will be taken.

# exclude

  • type: Array<String> | String
  • required: false

Exclude the specified users.

# reviewersConfig

In the file reviewer configuration, if there is a configuration that includes the current change file's reviewer, they will be added as a reviewer.

The statement is effective when the type is set to add-reviewer.

It supports two formats:

  • The string format supports passing the relative path of the configuration file (supports JSON files):
reviewersConfig: config.json
{
   "./src": "name1,name2",
   ".cnb.yml": "name3"
}
  • The object format supports passing the file reviewer configuration directly.
reviewersConfig:
  ./src: name1,name2
  .cnb.yml: name3

In the file reviewer configuration, the key represents the relative path of the file, and the value represents the reviewer's English name, separated by commas.

If both reviewers and reviewersConfig are configured, a specified number of reviewers will be randomly selected from both configurations.

            from:
              - aaa
              - bbb
          exports:

# Best Practice

# Establish a Dedicated Code Review Group for Cross-Review and Automated Merging

  1. Randomly select N reviewers for a pull request and notify them in a group.
  2. Automatically merge the pull request after it has been approved.
  3. Record the reviewers' information in the commit message.
  4. Configure Git to automatically merge pull requests that meet the multi-reviewer criteria.
main:
  review:
    - stages:
        - name: Auto-Merge after Code Review Approval
          type: git:auto-merge
          options:
            mergeType: squash
            removeSourceBranch: true
            mergeCommitMessage: $CNB_LATEST_COMMIT_MESSAGE
          exports:
            reviewedBy: REVIEWED_BY
