A practical guide to the CI checks that help keep broken C++ code out of main.
Green tests do not always mean safe code.
C++ code can pass tests and still hide undefined behavior, memory issues,
data races, formatting noise, or architectural problems.
That is why a pull request needs a quality gate:
a fast and stable set of checks that runs before code reaches main.
What this guide helps you do
- choose which checks your CI should run before merging code
- generate useful coverage reports
- enable sanitizers
- integrate clang-tidy
- enforce formatting with clang-format
- understand where code review still matters
