Feature Description

This feature involves establishing a PR (Pull Request) template to guide contributors through the process of submitting their contributions to the project. The template will include sections for essential information such as a brief description of the changes, related issue numbers, any necessary documentation updates, and testing procedures. Additionally, it will encourage contributors to adhere to the project's coding standards and guidelines.

Use Case

The PR template will serve as a roadmap for contributors, ensuring that they provide all necessary information and follow best practices when submitting their changes. Currently, contributors may submit PRs with varying levels of detail and adherence to project standards, which can complicate the review process for maintainers. With a standardized template in place, both contributors and maintainers will benefit from improved clarity and efficiency in the PR review process.

Benefits

Consistency in Contributions: By providing a structured template, the project can ensure consistency in the information and format of PRs, making it easier for maintainers to review and merge contributions.
Improved Review Process: Clear and comprehensive PRs help streamline the review process, reducing the time and effort required for maintainers to assess the changes and provide feedback.
Enhanced Collaboration: The template encourages contributors to provide thorough documentation and testing procedures, facilitating collaboration between contributors and maintainers and ensuring that changes are well-documented and thoroughly tested.
Adherence to Standards: The template prompts contributors to adhere to the project's coding standards and guidelines, helping maintain consistency and quality across the codebase.
Facilitated Onboarding for New Contributors: The PR template serves as a guide for new contributors, helping them understand the expectations and requirements for submitting contributions to the project. This can lower the barrier to entry for new contributors and encourage their continued participation in the project.
