Print the GitHub owner of a file or folder based on CODEOWNERS

whoowns

whoowns is a tool to print the GitHub codeowner of a folder or file by parsing the CODEOWNERS file. With this tool, you can easily find out who is responsible for a specific part of the codebase from the terminal. To find the owners of a file or folder, run

uvx whoowns path/to/your/file/or/folder

# example output
# path/to/your/file/or/folder -> @owner1

Specify the --level N to see the owners of child items in the N-th directory level below your provided folder.

Currently, this supports CODEOWNERS file format for GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. See their docs for more details on where to place the CODEOWNERS file.
