Using GitHub Actions has a few advantages over using Travis CI:
* More jobs can be run in parallel
* All CONSUL repositories on GitHub will be configured automatically
Besides, Travis have recently changed their policy twice. First, they
announced their site for free software projects would be shut down but
free software projects could still use their site for private projects.
And then, they limited the usage of their services for free software
projects.
Just like we used to do with Travis, we're enabling builds for pull
requests but not for pushed branches.
We're also building the master branch. Even if we never push to the
master branch directly, we're aware other CONSUL repositories do, so
we're running the tests for this case.
The actual PR template feels more like bureaucracy than an actual guide
or checklist to help the PR author explain all important thigs that any
reviewer or changelog reader may need to understand.
We'll be moving most of the redundant things (like remembering tests are
needed, or explaning how things where implemented with a clear and
granular commit history) into a Wiki/Doc entry.
For regular contributors there is no need for reminders, we need to
improve new contributors landing with good guides and lowering the bar
for first PR's
Why:
* The template tried to specify a placeholder for the title, but instead it was used as first line in the description
* The template tried to specify a guide for each section with a `>` character to imply it was a comment, but people didn't remove it
How:
* Removing the first line specifying the title placeholder that has no use
* Changing the `>` character on each section guide for a `-` that can be easily reused for enumerations
