Maintenance: update PR template to include closes # after Issue Number #7171

@dreamorosi

Description

@dreamorosi

Summary

Improve our Pull Request template to encourage explicit issue linking by adding the closes #<issue-number> keyword right after the Issue Number: field.


Why is this needed?

  • Automatic linking & closure: When contributors include closes #123, GitHub will automatically link and close that issue upon merge.

Solution

In the existing .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md, locate the line:

**Issue Number:**

and update it to:

**Issue Number:** (add `closes #<issue-number>` immediately after)

For example:

**Issue Number:** closes #123

Acknowledgment

  • This request meets Lambda Powertools Tenets
  • Should this apply to other Powertools languages? (e.g., TypeScript, Java, .NET)

Please react with 👍 and share your use case to help us prioritize this update.
