Before filing a PR

  • Consider splitting a large PR into multiple smaller, standalone PRs to keep a traceable development history.
  • Ensure that your PR addresses just one issue, or keep any unrelated changes small.
  • Add test cases when contributing new features. They demonstrate that your code functions correctly and protect against potential issues from future changes.

Describing your PR

  • Ensure that your PR title is concise and clear, providing all the required information.
  • Refer to a corresponding GitHub issue in your PR description if applicable.
  • Include sufficient design details for breaking changes or API changes in your description.

Reviewing & merging a PR
