Place an .lgtm file in the root of your repository to customize your project's approval process. Below is a list of available configuration parameters:

• approvals number of required approvals, defaults to 2
• pattern regular expression used to match approvals, defaults to (?i)LGTM
• self_approval_off = true prevents an author from approver their own commit

Examples

Example .lgtm configuration file:

approvals = 1
pattern = "(?i)LGTM"

Example pattern to match LGTM in a comment:

pattern = "(?i)LGTM"

Example pattern to match +1 in a comment:

pattern = "(?i)\\+1"

Example pattern to match :+1: emoji in a comment:

pattern = "(?i):\\+1:"

Example pattern to match :shipit: in a comment:

pattern = "(?i):shipit:"

Example pattern that combines multiple of the above patterns:

pattern = "(?i):shipit:|:\\+1:|LGTM"

Regex Engine

Pattern matching is performed using Go's regular expressions package. We recommended testing custom regular expressions in the Go playground.
