checkOwners CLI infers CODEOWNERS from git history with confidence scores

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

checkOwners is an open-source CLI that analyzes git history to generate confidence-scored CODEOWNERS files, replacing static, outdated ownership data. It runs in under two minutes on a 24k-commit monorepo and outputs structured JSON for CI integration. The tool also surfaces bus factor, expertise decay, and team topology risks.

Meridian48 take
A practical, no-LLM approach to a persistent DevOps pain point—but its value depends on teams actually trusting algorithmic ownership over human judgment.
