## Pull request guidelines
### Typo correction or doc updates
The creation of superflous merge requests is generally discouraged. Such examples include the creation of multiple
PRs to correct single typos, update comments or update docs.
It would be far better if you could fix a considerable subset (if not all) of these issues in one pull request (it's fine to create multiple commits in the same PR).
This is because we don't want to utilize compute capacity or multiply our git history for changes
that do not have any behavioral impact. It is recommended that you open up a single PR and correct a substantial subset of these inconsistencies (if not all), while also adding `[skip ci]` or `[ci skip]` in your
commit messages to avoid triggering the workflows.
