I have seen a lot of people in the forum asking questions about GitHub Pull Requests and the migration. Some haven’t worked with PRs before and might need help getting started.
I have been working with Pull Requests and GitHub a long time and have some experience for both reviewing and working to submit patches, so I want to help as best I can. Which is why I am going to hold two “Office Hours / Helplines” next week, one in the EU timezone and the other later to cover NA.
I invite anyone with questions or thoughts to join, but also if you already have experience with GitHub and Pull Requests, because while I have experience I am NOT an expert and more people discussing can only be a good thing.
I don’t represent the LLVM Foundation board or have Admin access to the GitHub repo (so I can’t make changes to the project if needed). We can discuss changes we need and send requests from this meeting if needed.
Just wanted to say that one-offs are totally fine on the calendar - it is meant to show the relevant things going on in the community. And I think your one-off office hours are very relevant
Thank you for setting up office hour and discussion channel. I think it would be super useful to have some guideline/documentation, even unofficial one, before the office hour, so that people can read them first and be more prepared when participating
Topics I immediately think of:
email filters
Hand-on experience dealing with the noisy https://github.com/notifications
Someone can confirm llvm-project has the default message set to “Default to pull request title and description” rather than the horrendous “Default message” that is “concatenate all commit messages together in one awful mess”? If so that’s reassuring.
Unfortunately I can’t jump on tonight, due to some family commitments. If there is interest in the US timezones - let me know and I’ll reschedule something for next week.
