D. CODEOWNERS triggers review requests but doesn't actually restrict editing access. Pretty sure that's the intent here, right?
Option D. because CODEOWNERS automatically assigns reviewers for PRs that touch certain files. It doesn't block editing or set explicit permissions, just makes sure the right people review changes. Pretty sure that's what they want here, but open to correction.
Yeah, it's D here. CODEOWNERS just makes sure the right people get tagged to review PRs automatically when files they're set for are touched. It doesn't block edits or handle permissions directly. Pretty sure that's what the question's after, but open if someone sees it differently.
D here, saw similar on a practice test and it was about reviewers not editing rights. Anyone else get this too?
Pretty sure D is right here, not A. CODEOWNERS doesn't stop someone from editing files, it just makes sure the listed owners get assigned as PR reviewers. The term "owner" can be confusing, but it's about who reviews changes, not access control. Seen this trip people on practice tests before.
A or D, but I think A trips a lot of people up since "owners" sounds like editing rights.
D , CODEOWNERS just sets PR reviewers for files, doesn’t control who can edit. I think the question is really about automating code review assignments. Pretty sure that's what they’re after but could see confusion with A.
I remember a similar scenario from labs, on an exam report, D.
A . CODEOWNERS makes it sound like owners control editing, so I think A fits if you're talking about restricting edits. Seen this come up as a trap before, not totally sure though.
I thought it was A since the file says who "owns" pieces of the code, so maybe that means only those people can edit? But now not as sure after seeing these other explanations. A
Be respectful. No spam.
