If you look at the list of current Pull Request you will notice a set of bracketed tags in the subject line. Those tags help developers focus attention and know what is being asked.
PR = Pull Request
| TAG | |
|---|---|
| WIP | Work In Progress - Within the RAPIDS cuGraph team, we try to open a PR when development starts. This allows other to review code as it is being developed and provide feedback before too much code needs to be refactored. It also allows process to be tracked. A WIP PR will not be merged into baseline |
| skip-ci | Do Not Run CI - This flag prevents CI from being run. It is good practice to include this with the WIP tag since code is typically not at a point where it will pass CI. |
| skip ci | same as above |
| API-REVIEW | This tag request a code review just of the API portion of the code - This is beneficial to ensure that all required arguments are captured. Doing this early can save from having to refactor later. |
| REVIEW | The code is ready for a full code review. Only code that has passed a code review is merged into the baseline |
Code must pass CI before it is merged
