Customize the PR page

Pagure offers the possibility to customize the page that creates pull-request to add your specific information, such as: please follow the XYZ coding style, run the tests or whatever you wish to inform contributors when they open a new pull-request.

The customization is done via a file in the git repository containing the meta-data for the pull-requests. This file must be placed under a templates folder, be named contributing.md and can be formated as you wish using markdown.

Example

For a project named test on pagure.io.

  • First, clone the pull-request git repo [1] and move into it
git clone ssh://git@pagure.org/requests/test.git
cd test
  • Create the templates folder
mkdir templates
  • Create the customized PR info
vim templates/contributing.md

And place in this file the following content:

Contributing to test
====================

When creating a pull-request against test, there are couple of items to do
that will speed up the review process:

* Ensure the unit-tests are all passing (cf the ``runtests.sh`` script at the
  top level of the sources)
* Check if your changes are [pep8](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/)
  compliant for this you can install ``python-pep8`` and run the ``pep8`` CLI
  tool
  • Commit and push the changes to the git repo
git add templates
git commit -m "Customize the PR page"
git push
  • And this is how it will look like
