Step-by-Step Guide
Navigate to Your Repository:
Go to the GitHub repository where you want to create a PR template.
Create a .github Directory:
If it doesn't already exist, create a new directory named .github in the root of your repository. This is where GitHub looks for configuration files, including PR templates.
Create a PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE File:
Inside the .github directory, create a file named PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md. This file will contain the template for your pull requests.
Add Template Content:
Open the PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md file and add the content you want to include in your PR template. You can use Markdown to format the template.
Here’s an example of a basic PR template:
Commit and Push:
Commit the PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md file to your repository and push it to GitHub.
CODE
git add .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
git commit -m "Add pull request template"
git push origin main
