CODEOWNERS tester
Paste your CODEOWNERS file and the paths you care about. See who GitHub will ask to review each one, and which line made the call. Nothing leaves this tab.

RULES
How GitHub readsa CODEOWNERS file.
The last match wins.
GitHub reads the file top to bottom and the last pattern that matches a path decides its owners, so put broad rules first and specific ones after.
No owners clears ownership.
A pattern with nothing after it leaves matching files unowned, which is how you carve generated code out of a broader rule.
docs/* stays one level deep.
A trailing /* matches files directly in that folder. Use docs/ to cover everything underneath.
Paths are case sensitive.
Docs/ and docs/ are different patterns, even on a case-insensitive file system.
Some gitignore syntax is skipped.
Negation with !, character ranges with [ ] and escaping # with a backslash do not work. GitHub skips the whole line.
