The Benefits of Using Graphite for Code Review

Introduction

Improving Code Review Efficiency

Code review is an essential part of the software development process. It helps in identifying bugs, ensuring code quality, and sharing knowledge among team members. However, traditional code review processes can be time-consuming and may lead to bottlenecks in the development cycle. This is where Graphite, a powerful tool for code review, comes into play.
