GitHub Issue with Pull Request Template Not Working
Have you created a Pull Request Template (.github/pull_request_template.md) in GitHub for it to not load at all whenever you create a new PR?
If so, then the problem might be that the Pull Request Template MUST exist in the GitHub repository's default branch. Even if the Pull Request Template exists on the source and destination branches of the PR, the Pull Request Template will still not load properly if it is not on the repositoriies default branch.
Fortunately, you have two options to resolve this issue. First, change the default branch to a branch that has the Pull Request Template in the Repository's Settings for "Branches" as an administrator. Or, add the Pull Request Template to the default branch.
