New tool traces reasoning links across code repositories
Original: What happens when a decision in your repository exists because of a decision in another repository? Follow the link. And
A new tool called the Keep the Why Globe has been introduced to software developers. It follows explicit reasoning links between repositories, one hop at a time, letting users see when a decision in one repository exists because of a decision made in another. By following chains of linked rationale, developers can trace how technical choices depend on each other across projects, addressing the common problem of undocumented reasoning scattered across separate codebases.
Why now: Developers are discussing a new approach to documenting and tracing decision rationale across interconnected repositories.
