Pull Requests

Pull requests (PRs) are a critical part of the development workflow, enabling collaboration and code review.

Establishing conventions for PRs ensures clarity and consistency, making it easier for team members to understand and review changes.

General Principles

Pragmatic Minimalism

Adopting a pragmatic minimalism approach means keeping pull requests small and focused on a single purpose. Avoid unnecessary complexity, and ensure clear PR descriptions and commit messages to help reviewers understand the intent quickly.

Transparency and Draft PRs

Transparency is crucial in the development process. Opening pull requests in draft mode is encouraged to provide visibility into ongoing work and foster collaboration.

While draft PRs can facilitate early feedback, it is the author's responsibility to proactively request it when needed.
