Step 1 of 617%

Code reviews are a critical part of the development workflow on GitHub. Pull Requests provide a structured way to discuss changes, suggest improvements, and ensure code quality before merging.

Code review is not just about catching bugs — it's about knowledge sharing, team alignment, and building a culture of quality. When you review code, you're also learning about areas of the codebase you don't normally touch. GitHub's PR interface supports inline comments on specific lines, overall PR comments, and review summaries. The review process is asynchronous and documented, creating an audit trail of why decisions were made — invaluable for future developers wondering why a particular approach was chosen.
