how to read unfamiliar codebase

Overview

These are in no particular order. I found them by researching what methods other developers use to understand codebases that they have not seen before.

Recommendations

  • If the codebase has tests, read the tests
  • Try to write tests for the part of codebase you are trying to understand. This helps in understanding the behavior and serve as documentation
  • Get overview of project. See the overall picture. How many modules it has? What are the name of the modules? Pick one module and do deep dive into it.
  • Writing documentation for source code. This is a good practice to understand the codebase. I tend to prefer writing tests over documentation since the source code and tests are truth, documentation decays over time, generally.

Adds a timeout to a JavaScript promise, rejects if not resolved within timeout period (uses requestAnimationFrame for better accuracy)
(function () {
'use strict';
/**
* wraps a promise in a timeout, allowing the promise to reject if not resolve with a specific period of time
* @param {integer} ms - milliseconds to wait before rejecting promise if not resolved
* @param {Promise} promise to monitor
* @example
* promiseTimeout(1000, fetch('https://courseof.life/johndoherty.json'))

Some useful Git aliases that I use every day
#
# Working with branches
#
# Get the current branch name (not so useful in itself, but used in
# other aliases)
branch-name = "!git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD"
# Push the current branch to the remote "origin", and set it to track
# the upstream branch
publish = "!git push -u origin $(git branch-name)"
