Welcome

I am a designer on the code review team.

Reviewing code

I don't checkout branches when reviewing code in the GDK as I tend to break the GDK that way.

I simplify things by using git aliases to streamline the process by adding this to my .gitconfig file

[alias]
    review = "!f() { curl $1.diff | git apply && git add --all; }; f"
    discard = "!f() { git reset --hard HEAD; }; f"

To review a merge request, all you need is the URL to that merge request

git review https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/137912

When done, I like to unstage and discard all changes back to HEAD

git discard
