Extract code owners from a CODEOWNERS file
What does this MR do?
This MR adds the possibility to set codeowners for files using a CODEOWNERS
file that's can be located in .gitlab
, docs
or the root of the repository.
The syntax of the CODEOWNERS file is similar to that of .gitignore
, so patterns can be used to match paths. Users can be linked to patters using their @username
or email address.
When a file matches multiple entries in the CODEOWNERS-file, the users from all entries are displayed.
The code owners are displayed on a blob page like this:
