Codeowners Helper

Repo

Tech Stack: Ruby, GitHub API
December 2019 – January 2020

Many teams use CODEOWNERS files in GitHub to easily open PRs with their team members added. To notify all your team members, you have to specify each of their usernames in the file. This is difficult to scale when your team has many repositories and you may have members leaving/coming frequently.

To make CODEOWNER files easier to maintain, I built this CLI script that allows you to audit all the repos that belong to your team to find consistency gaps.
