Gerrit Helper: Hide Generated Files for Faster Code Reviews
Gerrit Helper is a Chrome extension developed by rvmiller89 that aims to make code reviews faster and easier by hiding generated files on Gerrit, a popular code review platform. This free add-on falls under the Browsers category and specifically the Add-ons & Tools subcategory.
One of the challenges in code reviews is dealing with generated files that don't require human review, such as "vendor" files in Go. These files can clutter the code review page and make it harder to focus on the actual changes that require attention. Gerrit Helper solves this problem by allowing users to define a custom filepath regex to toggle hiding files on any Gerrit changelist code review page.
With Gerrit Helper, developers can customize the regular expression to match the specific generated files they want to hide. This feature helps streamline the code review process by removing distractions and allowing reviewers to focus on the important changes.
If you're looking to speed up your code reviews and improve efficiency, Gerrit Helper is a useful tool to consider. It simplifies the review interface by hiding generated files based on a customizable regular expression, making code reviews faster and easier.
