PR Convention

Noun · Open Source

Definitions

  1. The agreed conventions a project uses for pull requests, such as title format, checklist expectations, review etiquette, or labeling rules. In collaborative culture, PR conventions reduce friction by making review behavior more predictable.

    In plain English: The shared conventions for how pull requests should be structured and handled.

    Example: "Once the team documented a PR convention, reviewers stopped wasting time repeating the same requests about scope, screenshots, and changelog notes."
