      How do I read “lgtm”? Legitimate?

        “Looks good to me.” It’s a standard phrase used when signing off on changes.

          Thanks. As an ESL, somehow I never come across that short form despite being online as a teenager since the 00s.

            Tbh, English is my first language and I didn’t know that one either… And I’ve also been online since I was a teenager in the aughts.

              It’s not a common term outside its niche. If you’re not in the industry, you’ll mostly see it used in pull request reviews by people who have professional backgrounds. Looks like it actually originated with Google.

          I always thought it meant “Let’s get this merged”! 😆 Turns out I read this wrong for years.
