Approving Branches
Sign off on the changes in a branch by approving.
Approving branches can come at any stage in the development timeline on Pierre. This means reviewers can comment and approve before a branch gets merged, or after. Pierre does this to keep teams moving fast while establishing a culture with a high degree of trust. Here’s how it works.
Approving
As a reviewer, here’s what you’ll see on your branches. The approve button is more prominent when you’re viewing a branch that’s up for review.
Clicking Appprove will open up a custom comment form where you can leave an optional message with your approval. Add some text, throw in a GIF, or leave it blank.
When you’ve approved a branch, the sidebar button will updates to reflect the change.
From here you or the branch’s author can merge the branch. Not familiar with merging on Pierre? Read our merging branches guide.
After Approving
After you approve a branch and the sidebar updates, the rest of the page will be updated in realtime as well. This includes adding a new timeline event and, if you left a comment, starting a new comment thread in the Comments sidebar.
Elsewhere, the branch author(s) are notified in their sidebar that a new action has taken place and the branch will be marked unread.
