# Pull Request

### GUIDELINE FOR PR: 

Here are few things to check before creating a PR, then when you are working on new features to add to your main (production) branch through merge and finally after merging PR:

1. First create an issue -> "**issues**" tab -> write an issue for your task

2. Create a new branch and start coding

```sh
$ git checkout -b dev1
```

3. Push changes to the respective branch

```sh
$ git add <files>
$ git commit -m "useful msg"
$ git push origin dev1
```

4. When done with all coding and ready to push to production -> Create a **pull request (PR)**

5. You can still continue to code and push changes to your branch after creating PR until the PR is merged by you
6. To include a brief code prefix such as "**ENH:**" in step 1, please refer to the end of this documentation [here](#short-codes-prefixes). \
   Step 3 involves adding **reviewers** for the code review, and in step 4, *linking the issue* under "**Development**". Upon ***approval*** of the code review, proceed to step 5 and **merge** the **PR**.&#x20;

7. Delete branch on PR

8. Go to your local repo on your laptop -> switch to main branch -> pull new changes that is now on your main (production) branch on remote repo to your local repo -> then delete the same branch locally

```sh
$ git checkout main
$ git pull origin main
$ git branch -d dev1
```
