PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md: Request PRs describe themselves There are a lot of PRs for updates that don't make it easy to find out what changes might be breaking and lots of PRs for new packages that don't describe what the new packages is or does.

###### Description of changes
Update PR template with motivation for changes I'm seeing a lot of PRs that only include the checklist, when the main thing I care about when I'm reviewing a PR is what the author was thinking when they decided to make the change.

.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md: use individual checkboxes for tested OSes
2016-03-16 08:46:05 +00:00
- Built on platform(s)
PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md: Improve platform checkboxes 1) Building with the sandbox enabled is the standard on Linux, so it is of little relevance with distribution they are using. Because of this, we now specify "Linux" instead of "NixOS", and the sandbox checkbox specifies "non-Linux". 2) aarch64 is a much more common platform, so we add two separate checkboxes for both aarch64-linux and aarch64-darwin. 3) The platform names now match what is actually used by Nix.
2021-08-14 12:39:46 +01:00
- [ ] x86_64-linux

PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md: Elaborate on testing We've recently seen VM tests being added that could have been simple package tests instead.

CONTRIBUTING.md: Move to repo root, where it is more visible. We found that many users found it difficult to locate this document. Github supports it in the root, see: https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/setting-guidelines-for-repository-contributors
2021-06-26 03:37:39 +01:00
- [ ] Fits [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md).
PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE: move call-for-review to the end This improves URL previews like the ones on Discourse, where currently the boilerplate comment is printed for every PR link instead of parts of the motivation.
