GitHub Code Review Tools




A university student, Matt Kafker serves as an advocate for the homeless and the hungry by volunteering at the Pine Street Inn homeless shelter. In addition to his community work, Matt Kafker was awarded the Rene N. Bourquin French Prize while a student at Middlesex School, and currently maintains a GitHub page at https://github.com/mmkafker.

A web-based development platform, GitHub enables developers to collaboratively develop code, manage projects, and build software. The community, which currently includes more than 27 million individuals, benefits from a robust set of tools in areas like project management and code review.

Code review tools on GitHub are designed to improve overall code quality while also fitting into a team’s current workflow. Beginning with what’s known as a pull request, teams can review and improve code through a process that incorporates comments, changes, and comparisons. Moreover, several review tools are available to further refine the review process. These include:

- Codecov - a tool that allows coverage reports to be grouped and archived

- Codacy - an automated review tool designed to improve and speed up code review 

- Coveralls - a tool that ensures code is covered and provides coverage trend analysis

- CodeFactor - a GitHub automated code review tool
