How does GAS automatically assist with assigning reviewers for code changes?

• A. By using CODEOWNERS to automatically assign reviewers or approvers for changes in specific paths when issues or PRs are raised.
• B. GAS does not assist with code review.
• C. Reviewers are assigned randomly.
• D. All reviewers must review every PR.

Answer: (A)

Automatic reviewer assignment in GAS comes from the CODEOWNERS file. You declare who owns specific parts of the codebase, and when a pull request or issue changes files that match those paths, GAS automatically requests reviews from those owners. This ensures the right people—those responsible for particular areas—are looped in without manual picking. If a PR touches multiple paths, the owners for all those paths are requested. If no CODEOWNERS entry matches the changed files, no automatic review assignment occurs. This mechanism is why the correct answer describes using CODEOWNERS to automatically assign reviewers or approvers for changes in specific paths.
