Maintenance: update PR template to include closes # after Issue Number #7171
Description
Summary
Improve our Pull Request template to encourage explicit issue linking by adding the closes #<issue-number> keyword right after the Issue Number: field.
Why is this needed?
- Automatic linking & closure: When contributors include
closes #123, GitHub will automatically link and close that issue upon merge.
Solution
In the existing .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md, locate the line:
**Issue Number:**and update it to:
**Issue Number:** (add `closes #<issue-number>` immediately after)For example:
**Issue Number:** closes #123Acknowledgment
- This request meets Lambda Powertools Tenets
- Should this apply to other Powertools languages? (e.g., TypeScript, Java, .NET)
