# Hoist Similar Statements from If

#### Sourcery refactoring id: `hoist-similar-statement-from-if`

#### Description:

Hoist nested repeated code outside conditional statements

#### Before:

```python
if condition:
    args = {"some": "args"}
    with db:
        make_db_change(args)
else:
    args = {"some": "args"}
    with db:
        make_other_db_change(args)
```

#### After:

```python
args = {"some": "args"}
with db:
    if condition:
        make_db_change(args)
    else:
        make_other_db_change(args)
```

#### Explanation:

We should always be on the lookout for ways to remove duplicated code. An
opportunity for code hoisting is a nice way of doing so.

Sometimes code is repeated on both branches of a conditional, and the difference
between the branches occurs within a nested structure like a `with`. In this
case we can refactor the conditional so that the condition is moved into the
nested structure, hoisting the rest of the code and resulting in something
simpler.
