Replace generic pull_request_template.md with smart routing guide that directs users to correct template based on branch type.
Details
- GitHub will always show root template first since it doesn't support auto-routing
- Make this a helpful guide, not a boilerplate
- Detect branch name from PR (user paste into form)
- Provide quick links to all 10 PR templates
- Explain why template selection matters for automation
Content Sections
- Header: "Which PR template should I use?"
- Branch detection: "Your branch:
feat/my-feature → use pr_feature.md"
- Quick reference table (type/template pairs)
- Links to all templates in PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/
- Explanation of automation (labeling, changelog, etc.)
