Package Exports
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (codeowners-git) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
codeowners-git
Managing large-scale migrations in big monorepos with multiple codeowners can be overwhelming. Massive PRs touching thousands of files make it hard for teams to review changes efficiently.
codeowners-git solves this by:
- Identifying files owned by specific teams using the CODEOWNERS file.
- Creating compact, team-specific branches with only their affected files.
- Streamlining the review process with smaller, targeted PRs.
Note: This tool works with unstaged files. Make sure to check if your files are unstaged before proceeding.

Commands
--version
Display the version of codeowners-git.
Usage:
codeowners-git --version
# or
codeowners-git -Vlist
List current CODEOWNERS entries.
Usage:
codeowners-git list [options]Options:
--owner, -oFilter by specific owner--include, -iInclude specific patterns
Example:
codeowners-git list -o @myteambranch
Manage branch permissions in CODEOWNERS file.
Usage:
codeowners-git branch [options]Options:
--owner, -oSpecify owner(s) to add/remove--branch, -bSpecify branch pattern--message, -mCommit message for changes--no-verify, -nSkips lint-staged and other checks before committing--push, -pPush branch to remote after commit--remote, -rRemote name to push to (default: "origin")--upstream, -uUpstream branch name (defaults to local branch name)--force, -fForce push to remote--keep-branch-on-failure, -kKeep the created branch even if operation fails
Example:
codeowners-git branch -o @myteam -b "feature/new-feature" -m "Add new feature" -pmulti-branch
Create branches for all codeowners with changes.
Usage:
codeowners-git multi-branch [options]Options:
--branch, -bBase branch name (will be suffixed with codeowner name)--message, -mBase commit message (will be suffixed with codeowner name)--no-verify, -nSkips lint-staged and other checks before committing--push, -pPush branches to remote after commit--remote, -rRemote name to push to (default: "origin")--upstream, -uUpstream branch name pattern (defaults to local branch name)--force, -fForce push to remote--keep-branch-on-failure, -kKeep created branches even if operation fails--default-owner, -dDefault owner to use when no codeowners are found for changed files--ignoreComma-separated patterns to exclude codeowners (e.g., 'team-a,team-b')--includeComma-separated patterns to include codeowners (e.g., 'team-,@org/')
Note: You cannot use both
--ignoreand--includeoptions at the same time.
Example:
# Create branches for all codeowners
codeowners-git multi-branch -b "feature/new-feature" -m "Add new feature" -p
# Exclude specific teams
codeowners-git multi-branch -b "feature/new-feature" -m "Add new feature" --ignore "@ce-orca,@ce-ece"
# Include only specific patterns
codeowners-git multi-branch -b "feature/new-feature" -m "Add new feature" --include "@team-*"
# Use default owner when no codeowners found
codeowners-git multi-branch -b "feature/new-feature" -m "Add new feature" -d "@default-team"This will:
- Find all codeowners for the staged files in your repository
- Apply any ignore/include filters if specified
- For each codeowner (e.g., @team-a, @team-b):
- Create a branch like
feature/new-feature/team-a - Commit only the files owned by that team
- Add a commit message like "Add new feature - @team-a"
- Push each branch to the remote if the
-pflag is provided
- Create a branch like
