Summary
The delta repository does not have a pull request template, which means contributors submit PRs with inconsistent formatting, missing checklists, and vague descriptions. Adding a PR template would improve review quality and reduce maintainer overhead.
Steps to reproduce
- Go to the repository: https://github.com/dandavison/delta
- Look in
.github/ — there is no pull_request_template.md and no PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/ directory
- Check the repo root and
docs/ — also no template
- Check if
dandavison/.github exists as an org-level fallback — it doesn't
Expected behavior
The repository should provide a PR template so contributors know what information to include (e.g. issue linkage, testing steps, change summary).
Actual behavior
No PR template exists anywhere in the repository or at the org level.
Suggested approach
Create .github/pull_request_template.md with at minimum:
- Issue linkage (
Fixes #)
- Type of change (bug fix / feature / refactor / docs)
- Brief summary of changes and motivation
- Testing approach and results
- Contributor checklist (self-tested, no unrelated changes, etc.)
Reference: delta has issue templates in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ so the precedent for contributor structure already exists.
