pg-index-health – a static analysis tool for you PostgreSQL database
Static analysis for Java and Kotlin code is now common practice. For Kotlin services, the tool of choice is typically detekt. For Java applications, the range of available tools (often referred to as linters) is broader. The main tools include Checkstyle, PMD, SpotBugs, and Error Prone. You can read more about them in my previous article.

I didn't know it was this exciting !
At first I thought I couldn't make any PR that provides real value to these projects but after chatting with my friend I mentioned earlier he told me it is okay to add any simple small edit it is appreciated and most welcoming to the open source community , so is started looking for issues to work and it was all like building new google for me :D, until I found an opened issue to Detekt Project so I thought why not just cloned the project started looking for the bug and managed to fix it, after pushing the fix to the PR the maintainers were very welcoming and nice to me giving me some great feedback and tips, but after all it was documentation bug, not the big one but this was the kick start.

Integrating Code Formatting into Your Android Projects
When our team began migrating to Jetpack Compose, we wanted to avoid common mistakes due to our limited expertise. We discovered detekt and compose-rules for static code analysis which was also added to our pre-commit hook.

In protection rules, I added build workflow in Require status checks to pass before merging. This is to ensure that before merging code in master branch, build should run successfully. I also added Jacoco Code Coverage to make sure that enough unit tests are available in project and Detekt to make sure that code in project is readable. I added them in build configuration. Even if one of them gives error, build will fail. Whenever, someone push code in pull request, build action will run and check if build is running successfully or not.
