Source code file recommendation notification

A method performed at a processor of a computing device, the method comprising:

• executing a distributed version control system;
• via the distributed version control system, receiving a pull request to apply a first set of one or more source code files to a project database;
• in response to receiving the pull request, identifying a second set of one or more source code files based at least in part on a recommendation ruleset including one or more association rules identified for a plurality of training pull requests applied to a training project database,
• wherein the recommendation ruleset is determined based at least in part on a respective last iteration of each training pull request;
• and
• outputting a source code file recommendation notification including an indication of each source code file of the second set of one or more source code files.

A client computing device, comprising:

• a non-volatile storage device;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• execute a distributed version control system stored in the non-volatile storage device;
• output for display on the display a graphical user interface (GUI) of the distributed version control system;
• via the distributed version control system, convey a pull request to apply a first set of one or more source code files to a project database stored at a server computing device;
• in response to conveying the pull request, identify a second set of one or more source code files based at least in part on a recommendation ruleset including one or more association rules identified for a plurality of training pull requests applied to a training project database,
• wherein the recommendation ruleset is determined based at least in part on a respective last iteration of each training pull request;
• and
• output a source code file recommendation notification at the GUI, the source code file recommendation notification including an indication of each source code file of the second set of one or more source code files.
