The visualizer

The visualizer draws what a change touches, what it reaches and what broke, on one page, for whoever approves the pull request.

Open it

Each review’s comment and its Graphide review check link to the review on graphide.com. A pull request’s page there has the same address as on GitHub, with graphide.com in place of github.com:

https://graphide.com/<owner>/<repo>/pull/<number>

Private repositories’ reviews open only for people signed in to Graphide who can read them.

What it shows

• Review: what blocks approval and why, the rule a change breaks with the path that breaks it, and each changed function to tick off as you read it.
• Function: one changed function, lit for the pull request: what changed in what it does, the effects it gained, the rule it broke, and the test that passed before and fails now.
• Overview: how requests move through the whole system, with the path the change touches marked.
• Map: the code’s areas and the calls between them, with the area the change sits in and the areas it reaches.

Point at a changed function to see what it reaches.

An example

A real review of our own code, as it was stored, opens without an account.
