Question

A developer has pushed several commits to a feature branch but the code is only half-finished. They want early visibility so teammates can follow along and comment, but they need to clearly signal that the changes are not yet ready to be merged and should not be formally reviewed or approved. What is the best way to open this pull request?

Accepted Answer

Open a draft pull request, which marks it as work-in-progress and blocks merging until it is marked ready for review

Answer

Open a standard pull request and add a comment saying 'do not merge yet'

Answer

Open an issue instead of a pull request until the code is fully complete

Answer

Push the branch without opening any pull request and message teammates directly
