Reorient GitHub Pull Requests Around Changesets
published on 2023/10/01
I've had the experience of using GitHub as a maintainer for very large open source projects (1000+ contributors), as an engineer for very large closed source corporate projects, and everything smaller. Through those experiences up to today, GitHub pull requests is where I spend almost all of my time while on GitHub, and to me its also unfortunately the most frustrating part of GitHub.
There are a lot of improvements I would love to see with pull requests, but a massive chunk of my problems would be solved through one major feature: changesets. This blog post describes this suggestion and what I would love to see.
