Code reviews

All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We use Github pull requests for this purpose.

Some tips for good pull requests:

• Use our code When in doubt, try to stay true to the existing code of the project.
• Write a descriptive commit message. What problem are you solving and what are the consequences? Where and what did you test? Some good tips: here and here.
• If your PR consists of multiple commits which are successive improvements / fixes to your first commit, consider squashing them into a single commit (git rebase -i) such that your PR is a single commit on top of the current HEAD. This make reviewing the code so much easier, and our history more readable.
