The Roblogic Codespace Template project aims to provide a solid foundation for developers to quickly set up and work with a Roblogic project in a GitHub Codespace environment. Ensuring the quality and maintainability of the project's codebase is crucial for its success. Code reviews play a critical role in achieving this by promoting collaboration, identifying potential issues, and ensuring code consistency and adherence to best practices.
For the Roblogic Codespace Template project, at least 50% of all proposed modifications must be reviewed before release by a person other than the author. This review process aims to determine if the proposed modification is worthwhile and free of known issues that would argue against its inclusion.
-
Fork and Clone: Contributors should first fork the Roblogic Codespace Template repository and clone it locally to make changes.
-
Create a New Branch: Contributors should create a new branch for each feature or bug fix they work on. This ensures that the main branch remains stable and allows for easier management of multiple pull requests.
-
Commit Changes: Contributors should commit their changes to the new branch, adhering to the project's coding standards and best practices.
-
Submit a Pull Request: Once the changes are complete, contributors should submit a pull request (PR) to the main repository. The PR should include a clear description of the proposed modifications and any relevant issue numbers.
-
Review by Another Contributor: A person other than the author should review the PR, following the code review checklist outlined below.
-
Address Review Feedback: If any issues are identified during the review process, the contributor should address the feedback and update the PR accordingly.
-
Merge the PR: Once the PR meets the acceptance criteria, it can be merged into the main branch.
During the code review process, reviewers should consider the following:
-
Adherence to Coding Standards: The proposed changes should follow the project's coding standards and guidelines.
-
Correctness: The proposed changes should be free of logical errors and should not introduce new bugs or vulnerabilities.
-
Performance: The proposed changes should not adversely affect the performance of the project's components.
-
Maintainability: The proposed changes should be easy to understand, well-organized, and maintainable.
-
Readability: The proposed changes should be clearly written, with appropriate naming conventions and comments where necessary.
-
Compatibility: The proposed changes should be compatible with the project's supported platforms and environments.
-
Test Coverage: The proposed changes should include appropriate tests to ensure the new functionality or bug fixes work as expected.
For a proposed modification to be accepted, it must meet the following criteria:
- Pass all automated tests and checks.
- Adhere to the project's coding standards and best practices.
- Address any issues identified during the code review process.
- Be reviewed and approved by at least one person other than the author.
