Customize the PR page

=====================

Pagure offers the possibility to customize the page to create 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 [#f1]_ 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

        :target: _static/pagure_custom_pr.png

.. [#f1] All the URLs to the different git repositories can be found on the

         main page of the project, on the right-side menu, under the section

         ``Source GIT URLs``, click on ``more`` to see them.
