Pull request process

The pull request process consists of the following steps:

1. Fork the repository into your GitHub account.

2. Clone the forked repository to your local system.

Steps 1 and 2 can be implemented using the usethis::create_from_github(repo_spec = "github-repository", fork = TRUE) function.

1. Install all development dependencies and make sure the package passes all checks.

Step 3 can be implemented by running devtools::install_dev_deps() and devtools::check() consecutively.

1. Create a new branch for your pull request.

Step 4 can be implemented using the usethis::pr_init("github-branch-name") function.

1. Make your changes.

2. Commit and push the changes to GitHub.

Step 6 can be implemented by calling the usethis::pr_push() function and following the prompts in your browser.

$\underline{\text{Attention!}}$ The title of the pull request should briefly describe the changes you have made. If the pull request fixes an issue, the body of your pull request should also contain Fixes # (issue).
