This section guides you through submitting a bug report for git-pull-request. Following these guidelines helps maintainers and the community understand your report, reproduce the behavior, and find related reports.
Before creating bug reports, please perform a cursory search to see if the problem has already been reported. If it has and the issue is still open, add a comment to the existing issue instead of opening a new one. When you are creating a bug report, please include as many details as possbile.
Note: If you find a Closed issue that seems like it is the same thing that you're experiencing, open a new issue and include a link to the original issue in the body of your new one.
Bugs are tracked as GitHub issues.
Explain the problem and include additional details to help maintainers reproduce the problem:
-

-
Provide specific examples to demonstrate the steps. Include links to files or GitHub projects, or copy/pasteable snippets, which you use in those examples. If you're providing snippets in the issue, use Markdown code blocks.
-
Describe the behavior you observed after following the steps and point out what exactly is the problem with that behavior.
-
Explain which behavior you expected to see instead and why.

-
Did the problem start happening recently (e.g. after updating to a new version of git-pull-request) or was this always a problem?
-
If the problem started happening recently, can you reproduce the problem in an older version of git-pull-request? What's the most recent version in which the problem doesn't happen? You can install older versions of git-pull-request from the pypi repository.
