Approving and Reviewing Pull Requests

This page contains some suggested steps if you have been tagged to or would like to review and approve a pull request. This GitHub guide has a more detailed explanation of git commands if you feel unsure about using git in the commandline ⭐

1. Pull the changes to your local version of the website. On your commandline (or git bash on Windows), navigate into the website folder and type git pull.
2. Now type git status to see which branch you are on. If you are already on the branch that the pull request was made from, perfect. If not, switch to the branch with git checkout <branchname>.
3. Host the changes locally with jekyll serve, to see if anything does not work or looks weird. Pay particular attention to anything that was changed. Try clicking all of the links, looking at picture/text formatting, etc. You can see details to the changes made in the code if you visit the repository in your browser, click the pull request button, then commits and then choose the individual commits.
4. If everything looks good you can click on review and then approve.
5. Feel free to also merge the branch into the main branch by clicking on Merge pull request.
