What is LGTM?
LGTM is a simple pull request approval system using GitHub protected branches and maintainers files. Pull requests are locked and cannot be merged until the minimum number of approvals are received. Project maintainers can indicate their approval by commenting on the pull request and including LGTM (looks good to me) in their approval text.
LGTM is a tool in the Tools for GitHub category of a tech stack.
LGTM is an open source tool with 986 GitHub stars and 140 GitHub forks. Here’s a link to LGTM's open source repository on GitHub
