Programmer Humor

You could submit a PR for each bug or if there are a few bugs around the same thing then bundling those up is fine. You could have been submitting PRs every couple hours to a day for that month.

These have a lot of potential for abuse so use with caution but things that have dependencies on each other can use stacked PRs(yeah, this is GitHub specific). I’ve also found that splitting out any generated code with these is tremendously helpful at review time. Not talking about AI generated code. An example would be something like using a client generator for an OpenApi document. That way the tens to hundreds of files from the generator are in their own layer of the stacked PR and all the logic that uses it is in the other. You review each layer individually and can spend significantly less time on the generated one.

Don’t feel bad especially if it was your first time. This is my largest PR ever. It was just removing old projects from a repo though that were triggering our security/vulnerability scanning though.

pro tip for next time : make multiple smaller PR.

Generally it's more considerate to submit smaller batches of (self-contained!) work at a time. Sometimes the work or existing code is so interconnected that this can't really be done, though. You mentioned spending a month, that's also a long time in most environments to be off working on bulk changes for later review. A week is probably long enough in most cases, some orgs even prefer to push (if not review) code daily.

Don't agonize over it though, wanting to improve your impact on others while working is the right direction to point, keep walking that way and you'll do awesome, let it develop over time. As in, don't let your desire for politeness slow down your work or growth too much (I do this lol, why I'm mentioning).
