To analyze code change impact before committing, you can run an impact analysis check. This process evaluates potential breakages and calculates the blast radius of your modifications, identifying direct and indirect dependencies.

Code change blast radius measures the depth and extent of modifications required by a specific change. It is determined by mapping relationships between components and evaluating the risk level based on affected processes.

You assess risk and map dependencies by targeting a specific function like validateUser and specifying an upstream direction. This tracks direct and indirect dependencies to reveal what will break and the depth of required changes.

Yes, you need Git and Nexus to map code dependencies and perform impact analysis. Git manages version control while Nexus provides the dependency tracking required to map relationships between components and processes.

The best way to identify indirect dependencies during a pre-commit check is running an impact analysis. It maps the component relationships and evaluates the risk level to catch potential system breakages before version control submission.
