🗂️ Working with Repository Rules

Overview

These detailed guidelines are crafted for students undertaking the code review task. You are required to work within a private school repository, ensuring a structured and professional approach to manage your code review process.

Repository Management

1. Branch Creation:
   • Start Fresh: Create a new branch named code-review from the main or master branch of your private school repository.
2. Code Placement:
   • Organize: Place the code of the application to be reviewed in the code-review branch.
3. Pull Request:
   • Initiate Review: Create a pull request from the code-review branch to the main or master branch. This will be your platform for conducting the code review.

Conducting the Code Review

• In-Depth Analysis: Execute the code review directly within the pull request.
• Comprehensive Coverage: Ensure your review is exhaustive, addressing all aspects as per the task evaluation criteria.
• Engaging Feedback: Utilize GitHub's commenting features to add insightful review comments on specific code lines or sections as needed.

🚀 Task Submission to Cross-Check Rules

Completion and Submission

• Finalize and Present: Once your code review is complete, prepare the pull request for mentor evaluation.
• Submit with Confidence: Submit the pull request through the student dashboard in the RS App. Include the link to the pull request in the designated submission area.

Note on Submission

• Your Gateway to Success: The link to your pull request serves as the official submission for this task.
• Detail Oriented: Ensure that your pull request comprehensively contains all necessary information and comments related to your code review.
