TL;DR Wilco users can now grant others the ability to review and approve their Pull Requests (PRs).

While Wilco already does a good job preparing you for our inevitable machine-supervised future by testing PRs automatically, some of you still need convincing that hell is other people — so we’re letting you assign other humans to review your work. Ha, good luck with that!

As the requesting user: you are now able to send collaboration requests to users, and then assign them to your PRs.

  • The reviewer first needs to accept your collaboration request on GitHub. It’s good etiquette to ask them before you’re sending them the request.

  • As long as the PR is assigned to a human, you won’t be able to continue before they approve your request.

  • You can always reassign the PR to one of your Anythink coworkers, who are always there for you. Always.

As the reviewer:

  • You first need to accept a collaboration request. If you’re subscribed to GitHub notifications, you will receive an email both from GitHub and from Wilco about this. Click the button in either to approve the request.

  • You’ll receive notifications when a PR is waiting for you. Before you approve it, the requesting user will not be able to continue, so try and be considerate.
