Our team has three seniors. We have 3 juniors and more coming up.

We want to have some set of organization in our git repos. I want the three of us to be required reviewers for the team repos, but we three should be able to merge pull requests for our codes without having to get it code reviewed by the other two.

I tried setting up a codeowners file in github with our team admin group as the codeowner, but it is making me unable to merge PRs for my code without the other two reviewing it. I can add our individual handles as code owners, but that would mean I would need to update every individual repo if we get a new admin or one of us goes away.

What is the best way to achieve what I’m looking for? Please advise.

    Writers bias is real and even a less experienced set of eyes can spot a silly mistake that you’ve overlooked because you wrote it.

    It’s also a good learning experience for juniors. Seeing more skillfully written code and being able to ask questions about why you took an approach.
