# ESPHome Docs PR Workflow When creating a pull request for esphome.io, follow these steps: ## 1. Create Branch from Upstream Always base your branch on **upstream** (not origin/fork) to ensure you have the latest code: ```bash git fetch upstream git checkout -b <branch-name> upstream/current ``` Use `upstream/current` for documentation fixes, or `upstream/next` for new component docs. ## 2. Read the PR Template Before creating a PR, read `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` to understand required fields. ## 3. Create the PR Use `gh pr create` with the **full template** filled in. Never skip or abbreviate sections. Required fields: - **Description**: What changes are being made - **Related issue**: Use `fixes <link>` syntax if applicable - **Pull request in esphome**: Link if this documents a new feature - **Checklist**: Check the appropriate boxes: - `next` branch: New docs with matching esphome PR - `current` branch: Fixes/adjustments to existing docs - Component index: Check if link added to `/components/_index.md` ## 4. Example PR Body ```markdown ## Description: <describe your changes here> **Related issue (if applicable):** fixes https://github.com/esphome/esphome.io/issues/XXX **Pull request in [esphome](https://github.com/esphome/esphome) with YAML changes (if applicable):** - N/A (or esphome/esphome#XXX) ## Checklist: - [ ] I am merging into `next` because this is new documentation that has a matching pull-request in [esphome](https://github.com/esphome/esphome) as linked above. or - [x] I am merging into `current` because this is a fix, change and/or adjustment in the current documentation and is not for a new component or feature. - [ ] Link added in `/components/_index.md` when creating new documents for new components or cookbook. ``` ## 5. Push and Create PR ```bash git push -u origin <branch-name> gh pr create --repo esphome/esphome.io --base current --title "[component] Brief description" ``` Use `--base next` if documenting a new feature with a matching esphome PR.
