A super useful tool when doing PR's or checking your own work during a big refactor is the silver searcher. Its a super fast command line based searching tool. You just run ag "<search term>"
to search for your search term. This will list out every line of every file in any directory under your current working directory that contains a match.
Ahead/Behind
It's often useful to need some extra context around the change. I recently reviewed a bunch of PR's that moved schema from save_args
to the root of the dataset in all yaml configs. To ensure they all made it to the top level DataSet configuraion, and not underneath save_args. I can do a search for all the schemas, and ensure that none of them are under save_args
anymore.
