Configuration

Sometimes is configured using the sometimesreview.json file in the root of your connected repository. The configuration file has the following structure and defaults:

{
  "riskCategory": "STANDARD",
  "minDeveloperPRs": 10,
  "requiredApprovals": 1
}

NOTE: If a commit makes any changes to sometimesreview.json it will always require a review.

Configuration Options

riskCategory

Default: STANDARD

riskCategory is used to customize your risk tolerance for a given repository. There are 3 options:

• STANDARD (default)
• EFFICIENT
• CONSERVATIVE

STANDARD is the default and recommended value. It provides a balanced middle-ground between efficiency and confidence. If the context of your repo or team require adjusting this tolerance, you can increase or decrease the likelihood of PRs needing review by using the EFFICIENT or CONSERVATIVE options.

minDeveloperPRs

Default: 10

If a given author has contributed (i.e. merged) fewer PRs to this repository than minDeveloperPRs, then their PRs will always require a review. So if minDeveloperPRs is set to 10 (the default), but a developer has only submitted 5 merged PRs to this repository, then their PR will require a review.

requiredApprovals

Default: 1

If a PR must be reviewed, then how many approvals does it require?
