A developer describes a disciplined approach to preparing pull requests (PRs) that ensures continuous integration (CI) checks pass (green) on the first push, enabling maintainers to focus immediately on code review rather than CI failures. This involves matching the exact pinned linter versions, running formatters with repo-specific configs, adhering to commit message and DCO sign-off rules, and studying recent merged PRs to match maintainer expectations. This approach reduced review-to-merge time to as little as eleven minutes on a fresh repo where the maintainer had never seen the contributor before.
