30% Less is More: GitClear Releases Research on 12,638 Pull Requests

Quick Summary:

Seattle, WA June 14, 2024 --(PR.com)-- GitClear has released a comprehensive 2024 pull request research paper that analyzes 12,638 pull requests in the effort to enumerate the extent to which modern code review practices subject software engineers to unnecessary work.

The company finds that the Myers diff algorithm (released 1986) used by GitHub and others results in 25-30% more code lines to review, relative to a more modern code diffing tool.

GitClear utilizes the largest known set of pull requests to investigate the extent to which the lines labeled "changes" by GitHub are in fact substantively changed.
