Prefix Pull Requests to make them measurable
Motivation:
The goal is to more effectively measure your performance and impact on a project by categorizing your work in a consistent way.
Background:
In the past, I used to prefix my commits and Pull Requests with a category or the relevant product feature. Then, I discovered Conventional Commits, and I started applying that approach to my commits.
How to use it:
I will be using the following prefixes:
1
2
3
4
5
Improv: # Improvements to an existing feature
Feat: # New features
Fix: # Bug fixes
Cleanup: # Code cleanup or refactoring
Test: # Test-related changes
If something is particularly important or impactful, I’ll add a !
to the prefix.
For example:
Improv! comments: display commenter country
