Pull Request Tags

[TomDonoghue]

Notes on Pull Request tags, crowd-sourced from twitter.

Q: Is there a standardized list of pull request tags somewhere?
A: It doesn't seem so, but a number of projects have suggested tags (with a lot of overlap in use)

Projects with their own described PR tags:

• JupyterBook
• DIPY
• Numpy
• fmriprep
• nipy

A summary across projects (since most are consistent) is roughly:

• [DOC]: documentation related
• [BUG] or [BF] or [FIX]: fixes an issue / bug
• [MNT] or [MAINT]: maintenance
• [REF]: refactoring existing code
• [ENH]: enhancement
• [OPT]: optimization
• [STY] or [STYLE]: style related
• [TST] or [TEST]: adding or changing tests
• [BRK] or [BREAK]: a breaking change
• [WIP]: work-in-progress
