Repository scope

GitHub describes it as Distributed code review system for Git repos. The repository metadata lists Go as its primary language. The metadata lists the Apache-2.0 license. The README describes the project this way: By "distributed", we mean that code reviews are stored inside of the repository as git objects. Every developer on your team has their own copy of the review history that they can push or pull. When pulling, updates from the remote repo are automatically merged by the tool.
