github question: pull requests

[togFox]

Checking if it's possible, via github scripts or whatever they are called, to ensure every pull request has a specific file?

I'm about to embark on a new community project using github and I'd like to automatically reject a PR that doesn't have a change log (file - not in the PR body) included in it. I use the github browser/web page only - if that matters.

Possible?

I don't know if it's possible, it probably isn't - and I'm not on Github, but even if I were, I would be discouraged by such policy. Commit messages are there for that exact purpose; changelogs are a pain to manage.

Github commit comment+description are your changelogs. You are trying to scratch your left ear with your right hand doing this in your manner of "changelogs".
