Description

The one thing I really like about the GitHub UI here is that when there's only one commit, it'll automatically pull out the title and contents from it. When there's more than one, it defaults to the title-cased string of the branch name.

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 pull-request command and reviewing how it currently chooses the pull request title and body. Compare its behavior with the GitHub interface for branches containing one commit versus multiple commits, then verify both cases after the change.
