Draft pull request always, only me?
Main Post:
When I start working on a new branch, I always open a draft PR on github immediately. Anyone else do that?
I like seeing all my commits appear and explain stuff as I go along.
If everyone on the team did it, it would super easy to see what’s being worked on. I guess mostly because we use JIRA and not github issues.
Top Comment: We encourage draft PRs at our company. They are great. Transparency; It makes it easy for anyone to see what's in progress. Branches are not the same. They can be used for throwaway WIPs, release candidates, etc. Tooling integration; We use Linear for project management. You can configure it so that draft PRs mark an issue as in-progress, which is useful. CI; You can run limited CI on drafts, and then full-fledged CI when the draft is converted to an open PR. Diffs; It's a quick way to to see the diffs. When working on multiple branches, I, personally, find it useful to see what changes I have going in a draft. Branches can do this, too, but drafts are much easier to navigate to. Early reviews / feedback; Although not common, I've found that drafts are useful to get feedback from the rest of the team if you have questions early on. You can fill in the description, provide some images or videos, and change course if needed. Before having to do things like complete code coverage. To me it's a no-brainer. Use drafts. Encourage drafts.
