Introduction

  • “Pull Requests are a way to control the introduction of new content into a shared repository.”
  • “Pull Requests enable better collaboration for multiple developers.”

Basic Pull Requests

  • “New PRs can be opened in a repository from a branch or a fork.”
  • “Text on PRs use Markdown styling for formatting.”
  • “A user can interact with PRs in multiple ways: commenting, assigning reviewers, linking to other issues and pull requests, and more.”

Labels and Templates

  • “Labelling PRs can help with prioritization and organization.”
  • “PR Templates can provide clear instructions for steps, expectations, and more.”

'Good' Pull Requests

  • “A pull request should contain ONE cohesive change.”
  • “A pull request should, ideally, be quickly reviewable.”
  • “A pull request description should give an overview of what, how, and why something changed.”

Code Reviews

  • “Code reviews are integrated into GitHub Pull requests.”
  • “Reviewers can approve, request changes, or simply add comments as part of the review process.”
