If you write a code review comment regarding a best practice, ask yourself if you could turn a shared knowledge for your team and store it in Packmind.
A button Identify a Packmind practice is available on the right-bottom of the comment section. Click on it to create a best practice in Packmind. Indicate whether this is a positive or negative example of a best practice, and if it's a new practice, you can provide the description and some categories. This will send the example to Packmind, and it will be discussed in the next practice review.
You can also document existing best practices from a suggestion by selecting the option "Identify this practice" from the suggestion menu (visible when you position the mouse cursor on the suggestion). This example will be submitted to Packmind and discussed at the next practice review.
Here is an interactive demo:
Packmind extensions will display violations of practices found within a merge/pull request. You can generate a comment from this suggestion; this will include both the name and the permalink of the practice. You can also open the description of the practice to access its full documentation.
Go to the Chrome Web extension store, and download the app ()
