Google's public Engineering Practices documentation, primarily containing its Code Review Guidelines for reviewers and change authors. It is a set of reference documents, not software, shared under a CC-By 3.0 license.

Use cases

• learn how to do effective code reviews
• guidelines for writing good pull requests
• establish code review standards for my team
• what should a code reviewer look for
• best practices for responding to review feedback
• onboard engineers to code review culture

When to choose

• you want authoritative, battle-tested guidance on code review from Google
• you are defining review policies or onboarding docs for an engineering team
• you need a shared vocabulary (CL, LGTM) and review etiquette reference

When to avoid

• you need executable tooling or automation rather than written guidelines
• you want language-specific style guides (this covers general practices only)
• you need up-to-date content on modern review tooling
