A mutual assistance service for OSS developers.

ABOUT TASUKE

tasuke is short for the Japanese 手助け (tedasuke), meaning to give a helping hand. It aims to support OSS developers in giving each other a helping hand by connecting code reviewers to PRs in otherwise unrelated OSS repositories.

Everyone knows the lone maintainer issue in OSS - let's see if we can make it at least a little less lonely.

What we serve

Getting Started

For code reviewer

If you are interested in helping with code reviews, submit or edit your preferences for reviewing.

Edit your preferences

For maintainers

If you have a repository you could use help with on code review, register the Tasuke GitHub app.

Currently you must also register as a code reviewer to use the app. As review capacity increases and we understand abuse potential better, we may remove this requirement.

Install the app

With the app installed on a repository, create a pull request in it and request a review by adding a comment starting with /tasuke, for example:

/tasuke Can you help me with a review, please?

Currently, the only supported command is to ask for a review, so the text content is not used. In the future, we may use it for executing different commands.

tasuke is OSS for OSS

If you are interested, feel free to file issues or pull requests as with any OSS project. Let's work together to find what can make the service most useful for OSS developers.
