								# How to open a Pull Request
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## How to prepare a good Pull Request title:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								When opening a Pull Request(PR), use the following scope table to decide what to title your PR in the following format:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`fix/feat/chore/refactor/docs/perf (scope): PR Title`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								An example is `fix(learn): Fixed tests for the do...while loop challenge`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| Scope | Documentation |
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								|---|---|
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| `learn`,`curriculum` | For Pull Requests making changes to the curriculum challenges. |
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| `client` | For Pull Requests making changes to client platform logic or user interface |
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| `guide` | For Pull Requests which make changes to the guide. |
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| `docs` | For Pull Requests making changes to the project's documentation. |
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Proposing a Pull Request (PR)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								1. Once the edits have been committed, you will be prompted to create a pull request on your fork's GitHub Page.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								2. By default, all pull requests should be against the freeCodeCamp main repo, `master` branch.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    Make sure that your Base Fork is set to freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp when raising a Pull Request.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								3. Submit the pull request from your branch to freeCodeCamp's `master` branch.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								4. In the body of your PR include a more detailed summary of the changes you made and why.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    - You will be presented with a pull request template. This is a checklist that you should have followed before opening the pull request.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    - Fill in the details as they seem fit you. This information will be reviewed and decide whether or not, your pull request is going to be accepted.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    - If the PR is meant to fix an existing bug/issue then, at the end of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								      your PR's description, append the keyword `closes` and #xxxx (where xxxx
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								      is the issue number). Example: `closes #1337`. This tells GitHub to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								      automatically close the existing issue, if the PR is accepted and merged.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								5. Indicate if you have tested on a local copy of the site or not.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    This is very important when you are making changes that are not just making edits to text content such as a Guide article verbiage. Examples of changes needing local testing would include JavaScript, CSS, or HTML which could change the functionality or layout of a page.
