Faster reviews in ten minutes.

Two labels on every pull request

• "8 min review": the estimated review time, green under 5 minutes, yellow 5-19, red 20+. Reviewers pick up small ones between tasks instead of letting them wait.
• "large PR: consider splitting": on anything over 400 changed lines, where reviews lose depth (SmartBear study at Cisco).

Three steps

• Install the free gitStream app by LinearB on your repo and add its workflow file, as their guide shows.
• Save the config below as .cm/gitstream.cm in the repo.
• Open a test PR and check the labels appear. Test on one repo before rolling it out.

Labels only help with an agreement

Agree as a team: "every PR gets a first review within one working day", the maximum Google's engineering practices recommend. Check it after two weeks. More numbers on our benchmarks page.
