Initial documentation on code review #50

Closed jazairi closed 2 years ago

jazairi commented 2 years ago

Why these changes are being introduced:

We have a rudimentary guide on pull requests, but we need more detailed information on the collaborative process of code review.

Relevant ticket(s):

https://mitlibraries.atlassian.net/browse/ENGX-81

How this addresses that need:

This adds a doc to the 'How we work together' section of the guides that covers the basics of code review: how to prepare a PR, the roles of the author/reviewer, and some of the nuance inherent in critiquing someone else's work. Inspiration for these changes came from the DLS-wide discussion about code review in December 2021.

Side effects of this change:

It still feels fairly rudimentary and may need more expansion.
