Description of PR
Summary:
Align this repository's GitHub PR description template with the canonical
template used in

Approach, Documentation) everywhere across SONiC.
Also update
.github/copilot-instructions.mdso AI-assisted PR descriptionsreference the new template sections.

Type of change
Approach
What is the motivation for this PR?
PR description templates across SONiC repositories have drifted from the
canonical
sonic-buildimagetemplate over time. A single shared structuremakes reviews predictable: contributors see the same prompts everywhere, and
reviewers can locate the same information in the same place across submodules.
How did you do it?
.github/pull_request_template.mdwith the canonicalsonic-buildimagetemplate..github/copilot-instructions.mdso the "PR description template" guidance lists the sections defined by the new template (Description of PR, Type of change, Approach, Documentation).How did you verify/test it?
No functional changes — only files under
.github/are touched. Verified byrendering the new template on GitHub when opening this PR and confirming all
sections appear correctly.
Any platform specific information?
None.
