Description

Hi all,

I would like to add a small section or a paragraph about the review of the Pull Requests. For example, for us, the contributors and core-dev of Python we are looking for the issues of 3.7 and 3.8 (because we have to fix them for these releases ;-))

How can we do that with the interface of Github ? because there is no labels '3.8' or '3.7' on the PRs, but in fact, we can use the advanced search of Github, and add base:3.7 in the search box.

By default, we have is:pr is:open, these criteria will search the Open PRs for the current project, but with is:pr is:open base:3.7, it will search for the Open PRs for the branch 3.7.

So, where could we add this trick about Github? any idea?

Contributor guide

Open the contributing guide

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by locating the contributor or Pull Request review documentation in the devguide and review how GitHub search guidance is currently organized. Done means adding a concise explanation of using is:pr is:open base:3.7 or another branch name to find open Pull Requests targeting a release branch.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
