Github needs a way to limit control to a directory or file in a repo. Its fine if a non-engineer changes text in a static html file, but they wouldn't know which files could possibly break tests.
It would also solve a lot of problems with mono-repos.
- danpalmer 9y agoIt’s not ok if a non engineer erroneously drops a tag making the HTML invalid though, so I’m not sure directory permissions would be enough. We just solve this with code review.
- madeofpalk 9y agoI’ve been happy with using PRs and CI to avoid this problem.
- bonesss 9y ago> Github needs a way to limit control to a directory or file in a repo. Monolithic version control systems tend to do this very well. In my head a distributed system like GIT really needs awesome and integrated sub-module features to make it go around. Last I tried this was in-theory easy but in-practice hard with Git. As-is I believe separate repos or custom commit scripts/hooks might get you farther :/
