I would like to add a pull request template for this repository. I believe that having a standardized template will help streamline the contribution process, ensuring that all necessary information is included and making it easier for maintainers to review and merge pull requests.

Could you please assign this issue to me under GSSOC'24.

Describe the issue

Without a proper pull request (PR) template, contributors sometimes submit PRs without providing adequate descriptions of the changes they have made. This lack of information makes it challenging for reviewers to understand the purpose and scope of the changes, verify them effectively, and ensure that the code meets the project's standards. Consequently, reviewers often need to spend extra time reviewing the entire codebase, which is inefficient and time-consuming.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. A contributor raises a PR without using a PR template.
  2. The PR lacks a clear description of the changes made.
  3. Reviewers have to manually inspect all the code changes to understand their purpose.
  4. The review process becomes lengthy and cumbersome.

Expected Behavior

When a PR template is used:

  • Contributors provide a clear and concise description of the changes made.
  • The template helps outline what areas of the code were modified and why.
  • Reviewers can quickly understand the context of the changes.
  • The review process becomes more efficient and less time-consuming.

Device Information [optional]

  • OS: Ubuntu
  • Browser: Chrome
  • Version: 20.04.6 LTS

Additional Information

Implementing a PR template can significantly improve the efficiency of the code review process. A well-defined template should prompt contributors to provide:

  • A summary of the changes made.
  • The reasons for the changes.
  • Any relevant issue numbers or references.
  • Instructions for testing the changes.
  • Any additional notes or context that might help the reviewers.

By using a PR template, we can ensure that all necessary information is provided upfront, allowing reviewers to focus on the quality and correctness of the code rather than spending excessive time deciphering what changes have been made and why. This will not only save time for reviewers but also improve the overall quality of the codebase.
