Overview

Pull Request Submission is the concept of submitting code changes from a forked repository to the upstream project via GitHub's pull request mechanism, serving as the standard open-source contribution model.

Description

After a contributor has forked the repository, added a paper entry, and verified its format, the next step is to submit those changes back to the upstream Awesome Inference Time Scaling repository. This is accomplished through a pull request (PR) -- a GitHub feature that notifies the maintainer of proposed changes and provides a structured interface for review, discussion, and merging.

The repository maintainer explicitly requests this workflow in README.md (line 24): "open a pull request." A pull request creates a formal proposal that:

• Describes the change -- The PR title and description communicate what paper is being added and why it is relevant.
• Shows the diff -- GitHub displays the exact lines added, modified, or removed, making review straightforward.
• Enables discussion -- The maintainer can leave comments, request changes, or ask questions before accepting the contribution.
• Creates an audit trail -- Every merged PR is recorded in the repository's history, providing traceability for how the curated list evolves over time.

For this repository, pull requests are typically small and focused: they add one or a few paper entries to the README. This makes the review process lightweight.

Usage

Use this principle after you have:

1. Forked and cloned the repository.
2. Added a paper entry following the template.
3. Verified the entry format.
4. Committed and pushed the changes to your fork.

The pull request is the final contributor-side step in the manual paper contribution workflow. After submission, the process transitions to the maintainer's review.

Practical Guide

The pull request submission process follows these steps:

PROCESS: Pull Request Submission

PREREQUISITES:
  - Changes committed to your fork's branch
  - Changes pushed to your GitHub fork (origin)

1. NAVIGATE to your fork on GitHub:
      https://github.com/{your-username}/Awesome-Inference-Time-Scaling

2. CLICK "Contribute" -> "Open pull request"
      OR navigate directly to:
      https://github.com/ThreeSR/Awesome-Inference-Time-Scaling/compare/master...{your-username}:master

3. REVIEW the diff:
      - Confirm only the intended paper entry changes appear
      - Ensure no unrelated files were modified

4. FILL IN the PR details:
      - Title: Brief description (e.g., "Add [Paper Title] to [Section]")
      - Description: Optional additional context about the paper's relevance

5. SUBMIT the pull request:
      - Click "Create pull request"
      - The maintainer is automatically notified

6. WAIT for maintainer review:
      - Monitor the PR for comments or change requests
      - Respond promptly to any feedback

Alternatively, using the GitHub CLI:

gh pr create \
  --repo ThreeSR/Awesome-Inference-Time-Scaling \
  --title "Add [Paper Title] to [Section]" \
  --body "Adding a new paper entry for [Paper Title] related to inference-time scaling."
