Handle review feedback

What you will learn

• Understand the core purpose of Handle review feedback
• Master the basic usage and common options of Handle review feedback
• Learn a practical review-feedback loop: classify comments, apply focused updates in batches, and keep PR context easy to re-evaluate.
• Understand key concepts: Recommended loop
• Know when to use this feature and when to avoid it

Review is not about “silencing comments.” It is a structured convergence process.

Start with a problem

When you're new to Git, the hardest part is often not the commands themselves, but knowing which ones to learn first and which ones can wait. This section helps you build the right learning sequence.

Recommended loop

1. classify comments: required vs discussion
2. update in small coherent batches
3. explain what changed per feedback round

Common actions

git add -p
git commit -m "fix: address review comments on error handling"
git push

Collaboration habit

Reply per comment with either “fixed” or reasoned rationale for keeping current behavior.

!Do not bundle unrelated edits into one feedback commit

Mixed changes make it hard for reviewers to verify resolution status.

Good follow-up reads

1. merge and close task
2. small batch review
3. code review handoff quality

Try it yourself

1. Practice the handle-review-feedback command in a test repository and observe state changes before and after
2. Experiment with different options and compare the output differences
3. Simulate a real scenario where you would need to use this, and walk through the full process
