If you’re a developer who spends too much time reviewing messy or oversized pull requests, I built two small but powerful Chrome extensions to make your life easier:
PR Description Guard
Problem: Too often, PRs reach reviewers with missing or incomplete descriptions. This slows down code reviews and adds unnecessary back-and-forth.
Solution: PR Description Guard prevents you from submitting a pull request without a proper description. It ensures every PR has the context your reviewers need, right from the start.
Install here: PR Description Guard
How it works:
- Automatically checks if the PR description is empty.
- Alerts the user before submission.
- Fully customizable for your team’s requirements.
PR Size Guard
Problem: Massive PRs are a nightmare to review and often introduce bugs or delays.
Solution: PR Size Guard enforces size limits on your pull requests. Stop huge PRs from being submitted and make your code reviews faster and more effective.
Install here: PR Size Guard
How it works:
- Monitors the number of lines/files changed in a PR.
- Blocks submission if limits are exceeded.
- Helps your team maintain clean, manageable PRs.
Why Use These Extensions
- Save time for both PR authors and reviewers.
- Reduce back-and-forth caused by missing context or unwieldy PRs.
- Improve code quality and team productivity without extra tools.
Next Steps
- Install them today from the Chrome Web Store.
- Let me know your feedback or feature requests—I’m constantly improving them based on real-world use!
