Life of a change
For frequent and core contributors.
Frequent and core contributors are expected to use the arc command line tool to initiate code review.
Guides on arc:
Prerequisite: install tools
Please follow our Tools guide to learn how to install the mdm command line tool. This tool provides an easy way to install tools on your computer via mdm tools.
Start a feature branch
The arc workflow begins by creating a git branch.
arc feature somefeature
This is synonymous to
git checkout -b somefeature
git branch --set-upstream-to origin/develop
Make changes
Commit changes to your feature branch.
Send your change out for review
We do not push branches to GitHub. We use arc diff to send changes out for review via codereview.cc.

Make changes
You may be asked to make changes to your diff. Commit changes to your branch as you normally would. Run arc diff again when you’re ready to review the new changes:
arc diff
Land the diff
Once your diff has been approved you may land the diff. Landing squashes your branch into a single commit, updates the commit with the diff description on codereview.cc, and pushes the commit to origin/develop.
