Adding a pull request template to your project helps add clarity around contributing guidelines. The template helps enforce consistency and transparency around contributions to your code base. By supplementing your pull request with a detailed description, you help the contributor aggregate their work into a meaningful summary while providing more context for the code reviewer.
This repo was created to share properties of a pull request description we consider to be useful during our code review process. We've taken some time to split these templates based on the type of project (e.g backend, frontend, open source library, etc...). Please feel free to use these templates within your own projects, and share with us by contributing to this project.
Check out your default branch, most of the time this is master:
git checkout master
Create a .github directory:
mkdir .github && cd .github
Once thats created, you need to download the template from this repo. To download the template you would like to use, you can run the following cURL command:
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/echobind/pr-templates/master/frontend/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE
Every template is named PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE for easy installation, so you
just need to update the path in order to retrieve the correct template.
