Research direction

Add the three named templates under .github/: PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md, ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md, and ISSUE_TEMPLATE/solution_request.md. Start with GitHub’s template picker in repository Settings and follow the requested checklist and solution request fields. Done when all three templates are present with the specified content.

Description

30-minutes community documentation enhancement good first issue hacktoberfest help wanted

A few templates would make it easier for new contributors to open clear issues and PRs.

Time: about 30 minutes
Skills: basic Markdown and YAML

Files to add under .github/
  • PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md with a short checklist (header comment added, file in the right folder, solution runs)
  • ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md
  • ISSUE_TEMPLATE/solution_request.md (link to the problem, preferred language)

GitHub has a template picker in Settings that you can use as a starting point.
