Rietveld

Rietveld is a web application that manages the process of code reviews for software projects with large developer communities.

Rietveld is used today by developers of the standard distribution of the following:

Go (Golang)
Python
Chromium browser

Follow Golang Development

If you want to follow Go development on Rietveld, go to: golang-dev

In this example, I clicked the first issue, Issue 13454043: os/user: group lookup functions

Description


os/user: group lookup functions

Adding group lookup functions analogous to the user lookup ones to the
os/user package.
Updates issue 4589049.

Comments for src/pkg/os/user/lookup.go

Below, we see two comments:

let's leave this one out for now.  We can add it later if needed.  Also, the
return type is weird ([]string) ... why not []*User?

Otherwise this should clarify that it returns userids, not users.

Code and Comments for "group lookup functions" Issue

Summary

Rietveld is an effective code review tool for a large development community and it's great for groking Golang code and learning from code review comments.

However, when it comes to a typical development team, Github is good enough Typicial Github Workflow:

Developer pushes changes to Github
Developer creates pull request (PR) to team (sometimes needs to nudge reviewers)
Reviewer accepts changes in PR and merges code from PR

Install godoc command

Installation


$ go get code.google.com/p/go.tools/cmd/godoc

Verify Installation


$ godoc fmt Println
func Println(a ...interface{}) (n int, err error)
    Println formats using the default formats for its operands and writes to
    standard output. Spaces are always added between operands and a newline
    is appended. It returns the number of bytes written and any write error
    encountered.

Alternative

A previous post, Install godoc showed you how to install the godoc package with the go instal command. This example shows you how to install the godoc command.

View Source

Add the -src flag and see the source code:


$ godoc -src fmt Println
// Println formats using the default formats for its operands and writes to standard output.
// Spaces are always added between operands and a newline is appended.
// It returns the number of bytes written and any write error encountered.
func Println(a ...interface{}) (n int, err error) {
    return Fprintln(os.Stdout, a...)
}
