GitHub Pull Requests for Everyone
summary
A concrete workflow emerges: a 40‑person shop uses six review rules (no one merges their own code, never push to master, require design and copy reviews) and enforces GitHub issue/PR templates plus PR descriptions with screenshots and step‑by‑step testing instructions. Visual proofs use Recordit GIFs or video walkthroughs with GoVideo (Vidyard) that add 5–10 minutes of setup but often save 30–60 minutes of synchronous explanation. Sketch markup and intentional positive comments keep design reviews from becoming blockers.
