83
83
84

In order for a pull request to be considered for inclusion in a release branch (e.g. `release/6.0`) after it has been cut, it must meet the following requirements:
85
-
86
-
1. The title of the PR should start with the tag `[{swift version number}]`. For example, `[6.0]` for the Swift 6.0 release branch.
87
-
88
-
1. The PR description must include the following information:
89
-
90
-
```md
91
-
* **Explanation**: A description of the issue being fixed or enhancement being made. This can be brief, but it should be clear.
92
-
* **Scope**: An assessment of the impact/importance of the change. For example, is the change a source-breaking language change, etc.
93
-
* **Issue**: The GitHub Issue link if the change fixes/implements an issue/enhancement.
94
-
* **Original PR**: Pull Request link from the `main` branch.
95
-
* **Risk**: What is the (specific) risk to the release for taking this change?
96
-
* **Testing**: What specific testing has been done or needs to be done to further validate any impact of this change?
97
-
* **Reviewer**: One or more code owners for the impacted components should review the change. Technical review can be delegated by a code owner or otherwise requested as deemed appropriate or useful.

> The PR description can be generated using the [release_branch.md](https://github.com/apple/swift-syntax/blob/main/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/release_branch.md) [pull request template](https://docs.github.com/en/communities/using-templates-to-encourage-useful-issues-and-pull-requests/about-issue-and-pull-request-templates). To use this template when creating a PR, you need to add the query parameter:
102
-
> ```
103
-
> ?expand=1&template=release_branch.md
104
-
> ```
105
-
> to the PR URL, as described in the [GitHub documentation on using query parameters to create a pull request](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/using-query-parameters-to-create-a-pull-request).
106
-
> This is necessary because GitHub does not currently provide a UI to choose a PR template.
107
-
108
-
All changes going into a release branch must go through pull requests that are approved and merged by the corresponding release manager.
