+#    # This is a comment.
+#    # Each line is a file pattern followed by one or more owners.
+#
+#    # These owners will be the default owners for everything in
+#    # the repo. Unless a later match takes precedence,
+#    # @global-owner1 and @global-owner2 will be requested for
+#    # review when someone opens a pull request.
+#    *       @global-owner1 @global-owner2
+#
+#    # Order is important; the last matching pattern takes the most
+#    # precedence. When someone opens a pull request that only
+#    # modifies JS files, only @js-owner and not the global
+#    # owner(s) will be requested for a review.
+#    *.js    @js-owner
+#
+#    # You can also use email addresses if you prefer. They'll be
+#    # used to look up users just like we do for commit author
+#    # emails.
+#    *.go docs@example.com
+#
+#    # In this example, @doctocat owns any files in the build/logs
+#    # directory at the root of the repository and any of its
+#    # subdirectories.
+#    /build/logs/ @doctocat
+#
+#    # The `docs/*` pattern will match files like
+#    # `docs/getting-started.md` but not further nested files like
+#    # `docs/build-app/troubleshooting.md`.
+#    docs/*  docs@example.com
+#
+#    # In this example, @octocat owns any file in an apps directory
+#    # anywhere in your repository.

+#    # In this example, @doctocat owns any file in the `/docs`
+#    # directory in the root of your repository.
