The pre-commit Playbook
One of the core ideas behind DevOps is "shifting left." That means moving critical checks, testing, and feedback earlier in the software development lifecycle. Pre-Commit takes that "shift left" principle and gives it teeth. By running automated checks before code gets committed, it helps teams enforce consistency, spot bugs early, and maintain high standards. Check it out:
The Goldilocks Pull Request
A Pull Request should be focused. It should do one thing well: fix a bug, add a feature, or refactor a specific part of the code. This helps reviewers follow what changed and why, help CI tools test your changes, and help your future self understand the changes. Your PR should appeal to Goldilocks: not too large, and not too small.
How Code Reviews Should Work
The best code reviews feel like collaboration, not judgment. They’re an opportunity to ask questions, learn, and improve as a team. When the small stuff is already taken care of, there’s space for that conversation to happen. Caparra is building tools to make this easier for your team.
