Pull Request
Behind the Scenes
A wise man said, 'time is the most valuable thing.' As a software engineer, I’ve always valued time, especially when contributing to projects via Pull Requests (PR) or Merge Requests (MR). Each PR must address the issue precisely without causing disruptive changes on the main/master branch. I ensure that every modification is explained clearly and concisely to save the reviewer's time and maintain project integrity and quality.
A bit of a tips!
For me, good PR criteria are as follows:
- Add tests
- Keep it small
- Maintain consistency
- Ensure readability
- Optimize performance
- Automate
