# How to review an entire repo on github

There unfortunately is not a nice way to do a code review for an entire repository on github. If you find a better way please let me know.

### Comments on a commit

This way works when the repo has only one or a few commits. But quickly becomes cumbersome on larger projects

1. Find the commit you are interested in

2\. Leave a comment by clicking on the plus button next to a line and entering your comment

### Leave issues

You can perform the code review by creating issues (ha ha ha...)

1. On a file click on a line you want to leave a review comment on

![](https://921947449-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FKgoB5VtANw65HCpHlPYn%2Fuploads%2FGg1h7XxZci5qhIurcziU%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=31f71262-1fa2-4c08-aa1b-6e27e6c81b67)

2\. On the ellipsis '...' select 'Reference in a new issue'

![](https://921947449-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FKgoB5VtANw65HCpHlPYn%2Fuploads%2FtnCeCJqTEXWYZKctz2vM%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=c6b90fc4-eae8-4962-b5c6-4d0e3037d2d0)

3\. This will create an issue with a link as below. Leave a comment 

![](https://921947449-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FKgoB5VtANw65HCpHlPYn%2Fuploads%2FCUjfL5nEcf00a45lbj6p%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=712cf6ba-884b-4285-9dad-4d5c7303995d)

4\. The end result is an issue with the source code referenced

### New Repo + Pull Request (PR)

Finally you can create a new empty repo. In it paste the existing codebase. You can then commit it and raise a pull request which you can then self review.
