LGTM

Looks Good To Me

A concise review signal that the reviewer finds the proposed change acceptable.

Plain English

I reviewed this and have no blocking concerns.

In context

LGTM commonly communicates approval in code or document review but teams should distinguish it from formal sign-off when required.

Example

LGTM after the error-handling test is added.

When you'll hear this

  • code review
  • document review
  • design review

Common misunderstanding

LGTM should reflect an actual review and does not remove the author's responsibility for correctness.
