Finders

git-reviewers is componsed of a set of strategies for generating lists of reviewers, or Finders. They return a weighted set of reviewers which is then sorted and recommended to you. They include:

• FindLogReviewers - Generate a list of reviewers based on committers to your committed (but not merged with master) files
• FindHistoricalReviewers - Generate reviewers based on the repository committers as a whole
• FindArcCommitReviewers - Generate reviewers based on arc commit messages for files which you have modified on your branch

Configuration

git-reviewers supports reading configuration from a configuration file with the --json flag. The configuration file accepts json with the following fields (all fields optional):

{
    "verbose": false,
    "copy": false,
    "ignore": ["a", "b", "c"],
    "base_branch": "master"
}

git-reviewers will also by default search for and load a json configuration file at ~/.git/reviewers.
