How to do coding peer reviews with Github

Peer reviews is a technique used in programming to improve the quality of the code. Every single change that’s done on the codebase gets reviewed by another developer to see if any improvements can be made.

It massively improves the quality of the code, helps you learn from other developers and improves knowledge transfer in the team. Needless to say, I’m a big fan.

In this video I go over some of the main benefits and do a live demo of how to do coding peer reviews using Github.

Good video. Thank you for speaking so clearly without slang.
Mainly for those of us who do not usually hear English

Great stuff, very concise and rich in content

Very important things missed, like if someone asks you to make some changes then how do you do that and how does it reflect back in the pull request.

[omarpalauavila]

I think a very important thing missed in this video is how to get a commit down to your machine locally, otherwise, how can you review stuff?

[MrSegagraff]

Nice video, It would be helpful to teach people also how to set Develop branch as default. So each pull request will have to develop branch as default.

[vilasackphothisan]

If I have a feature branch, is it a good practice to merge development down to the feature branch before the code review or any code compare?

[JohnSan]

Great video and some excellent points! What are your thoughts on pair programming?

[ntsystem]

Question, is it possible to do this code review on a standalone git server and not using third party such as github or bitbucket? If so, can anyone link me to the right resources?
Thanks :)

I often find it hard to navigate when multiple round of reviews. Can you show me how to navigate in that case

[RainBringer]

Many aspects of the topic weren't covered. For example, what happens after finding bug and commenting? How the PR author fixes and resolves the issue? How the reviewer sees the fix and the comparison of the fixed file version to the original one? Etc. Very shallow tutorial.
