Quick Tip Tuesday: One Small Change That Can Make Your PRs Better 💡

[ghostinhershell]

Pull requests don’t have to be huge to make a big difference — sometimes, a tiny tweak to your workflow is all it takes to make reviews smoother, merges faster, and conversations friendlier.

Here’s my quick tip:

I like to write my PR description before I start coding.
It forces me to think through the “why” and “what” of my changes up front. By the time I’m done coding, I don’t have to scramble to remember the details — the PR is basically ready to go.

Tip

Copilot can also help with this so use your description to double check for accuracy

Something that I've always loved is seeing screenshots and other visuals in PRs. Especially if the changes involve something in the UI. Saves reviewers from guessing and speeds up approvals. 🎨 👀
