Verified Production Fix
[docker/cli] Invalid contribution link in PR template
GH-docker/cli#6484 • Mar 07, 2026
### ROOT CAUSE
The issue arises because the PR template contains a broken link to a specific commit's file, which is no longer valid. The link was likely outdated due to changes in the repository's structure or the PR template's location, making it inaccessible.
### CODE FIX
To resolve the issue, update the invalid link in the PR template to the official Docker contribution guidelines.
**Step-by-step Explanation:**
1. **Locate the PR Template File:**
- Navigate to the `.github` directory in the `docker/cli` repository.
- Open the `PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` file.
2. **Identify the Invalid Link:**
- Find the line(s) containing the link `https://github.com/docker/cli/blob/903e9b342650ec6f5bc66681cb901361754fc67a/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md?plain=1#L7-L8`.
3. **Replace the Link:**
- Remove the old link and replace it with `https://docs.docker.com/contribute/`.
4. **Commit the Change:**
- Save the changes and commit them with a message like "Update invalid contribution link in PR template".
**Here's the fix in the code:**
