The art of the pull request template

on YouTube ↗12m

" summary

A concrete pull request template built like a travel itinerary: step-by-step manual test steps (SFO → Heathrow → Paddington → King's Cross → Leeds), linked resources (airport, TSA, SwiftLeeds Slack), screenshots and short videos of UI/animation, a packing checklist of required artifacts, and a best-case automated test expectation. It claims to cut back-and-forth by giving reviewers exact steps to reproduce, guardrails for QA, and optional artifacts so reviewers can validate the change without guessing.
