How to Create a Good Pull Request Template (and Why You Should Add Gifs)

BekahHW on April 14, 2023

I wasn’t in tech when Pull Requests (PRs) were first introduced by GitHub back in 2008. And when I graduated from bootcamp four years ago, I had pr...

Nice post. Might be worth mentioning where you explain how to create a template that if you put it in a repository named .github that it applies to all of the repositories that you own, and you only need to maintain it there.

Anyway, nice template. I've been considering making changes to mine and yours gave me some ideas.

Prakhar Tiwari • Oct 14 '23

Wow I didn't know that! Thanks

BekahHW • Apr 15 '23

I thought of adding that, but then decided I could do a whole post on that.

Jessica Wilkins • Apr 14 '23

I love this PR template.

I definitely want to use this for my open source projects and want to suggest it for the teams I am on

Thank you for sharing.

BekahHW • Apr 14 '23

Thanks, Jessica! Not gonna lie, OpenSauced's PR template is my favorite. I looked at a lot of other ones, but this my favorite.

have a dream of upgrading those templates from checkboxes to selects but never get to it in real life :<

Why do you think selects will be better?

TED Vortex (Teodor Eugen Duțulescu) • Apr 15 '23

Humans are biased to the scanning effect of the first page of content, that is currently taken up by the options of the "type of pull request" selector being spread as checkbox options; this makes it difficult for them to scan the other important sections of the pull request template (description, related tickets, docs, etc)

Mike Lockhart • Apr 15 '23 • Edited

I use labels instead, for better scanning, and also selecting PRs for review by type using the labels.

This does need pointing out to contributors, though. You can add HTML comments to PR templates for instructions or guidance.

That is an awesome cover photo! You could be an AI art prompt engineer!

Hahahah. Thanks for generating it for me.

Jesse R Weigel • Apr 23 '23

You're welcome! Anytime!

Adding gifs to the template can also bring more engagement and make the review process more enjoyable. It's good to see that OpenSauced is using forem's template for inspiration.

Alexander Clemens • Sep 4 '23

Thanks @bekahhw for sharing and adding this to my open source project no to come back to in the furute to enhance or pull request template.

BekahHW • Apr 16 '23

Awesome!

Jake Doran • Apr 15 '23

Great article! One of the things I miss the most about GitHub (my team use BitBucket currently) is the ability to create PR templates they are super handy!

Yes! I love issue templates too.

Omar Kamel • Apr 15 '23

Gifs is a great idea 💡 that i would like to suggest to my team, thanks 🙏

Muhammad Raihan Satrio Putra Pamungkas • Apr 16 '23

Great explanation. However, I often struggle with providing an appropriate title message when submitting a pull request. I have noticed that many open source repositories have unstructured or messy title messages, which can make it difficult to maintain the repository.

Some people use problems or features as the title, while others add tags for additional information. I believe that it is important to consider the impact of clear and concise title message, as it can save a lot of time when searching.
