Ship/Show/Ask

Ship/Show/Ask is a methodology to increase the pace of software teams by not having to block developers for each pull request.

It can easily be implemented with this new solution by specifying policies for teams to allow them to automatically merge certain pull requests.

Here's an example of a reviewpad.yml configuration file that we use in our team to automate these three processes.

reviewpad.yml
labels:
  ask:
    color: fd5e53
  show:
    color: ffd800
  ship:
    color: 76dbbe

groups:
  - name: juniors
    kind: developers
    type: filter
    param: developer
    where: $pullRequestCountBy($developer) < 10

workflows:
  - name: ask
    description: Ask process - request a review before merge
    if:
      - $hasFileName("main.js")
      - $fileCount() > 5
      - $isElementOf($author(), $group("juniors"))
    then:
      - $addLabel("ask")
      - $assignRandomReviewer()

  - name: show
    description: Show process - auto-merge and later review
    if:
      - rule: $hasFileExtensions([".md"])
        extra-actions:
          - $assignReviewer($group("seniors"), "reviewpad")
      - $hasFileExtensions([".test.ts"])
    then:
      - $addLabel("show")
      - $merge("rebase")

  - name: ship
    description: Ship process - auto-merge without need for review
    if:
      - $size() < 50
    then:
      - $addLabel("ship")
      - $merge("rebase")
