But How?
1️⃣ What -
PR templates offer a visual snapshot for reviewers to quickly grasp the essence and state of a pull request. Imagine your team diving into a PR and instantly comprehending its purpose, changes, and necessary actions. That's the magic of a well-structured template.
2️⃣ Why -
Reason 1: Mind Off the Trivial, Focus on Impactful
Say goodbye to mental juggling! Templates serve as a self-checklist, eliminating the need to wrack your brain over remembering small yet crucial details. Instead, channel that mental energy towards crafting exceptional code and solving complex challenges.
Reason 2: Living Documentation
Treat your PR template as a living, breathing document that captures the essence of each change. It's not just about the present; it's a reference point for the future. Easily traceable and understandable, it becomes a valuable resource for anyone peeking into the history of your codebase.
But wait, there's more! 🌟
Reason 3: Consistency & Standardization
With PR templates, maintain consistency across your project repositories. Whether you're working on bug fixes, feature enhancements, or other changes, ensure a uniform approach that aligns with your team's best practices.
Reason 4: Enhanced Communication
These templates aren't just for code; they foster better communication within your team. Express your intentions, highlight potential issues, and open the floor for meaningful discussions, all in one structured format.
Reason 5: Effortless Onboarding
Simplify onboarding for new team members by providing a clear blueprint for creating effective pull requests. It's like having a welcome mat that guides them through the team's established processes.
3️⃣ How -
-
Create a custom template with Markdown, and name it "PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md"
-
Paste the following example:
