Problem to solve

Quickly filter the changes in the merge request to only show the files that you own.

Intended users

  • Sasha (Software Developer)
  • Presley (Product Designer)

Further details

Let's say a new feature has been added and we have a merge request that needs to be approved by both Sasha and Presley where Sasha needs to approve almost everything but Presley only needs to approve the changes in the *.css and *.scss files. In the CODEOWNERS document we can specify that all changes on *.css and *.scss files automatically assign Presley to approve the change. But Presley does not have an easy way in GitLab to view the *.css and *.scss files.

Proposal

Adding a filter to the changes tab in the merge request to only view the files that you're a codeowner of as specified by the CODEOWNERS document.
