# Requesting Code Review for bulk files and projects

In some circumstances, you may want specific parts of a git repository reviewed by the PullRequest network outside the context of a pull/merge request (i.e., a collection of files or the entire repository).

The following steps outline the most secure way of creating a PullRequest review job within your version control hosting provider**.**

## Steps: <a href="#steps" id="steps"></a>

**1.** Check out a local copy of the latest code for the repository that you want reviewed.

**2.** **`cd`** into your local repository's root directory.

**NOTE:** Make sure you are in the root of your local repository that is tracked by git.

**3.** Delete visible files/folders within this directory. We'll be adding them back for the code review.

**4.** Checkout and create a new branch called `deleted_code`

```
git checkout -b deleted_code
```

**5.** Add your local changes of deleting the files.

**6.** Commit these changes.

```
git commit -m "deleting all files to prepare for review"
```

**7.** Push this branch to git origin. It should now exist as a remote branch.

```
git push origin deleted_code
```

**8**. Checkout and create another branch called `code_to_review`

```
git checkout -b code_to_review
```

**9**. Grab all of the code from your main repository branch (likely `master` or `develop`).

**10**. This should have added all of the files you deleted back. Add them to git staging.

**11**. Commit changes of adding back code.

```
git commit -m "adding back files to be reviewed"
```

**12.** Push `code_to_review` branch to git origin.

```
git push origin code_to_review
```

**13.** Then open a pull/merge request in your version control hosting provider (i.e., GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab):

**14**. Request code review from the PullRequest network by:\
\- Clicking "Request Review" in the PullRequest dashboard.\
\- Or adding **\[pr]** to the title of the pull/merge request.
