labels. The `fast-track` label should cause the Node.js GitHub bot to post a

comment in the pull request asking collaborators to approve the pull request

by leaving a 👍 reaction on the comment.

* Optional: Run CI on the pull request. Use the `node-test-pull-request` CI

* Optional: Run Jenkins CI on the pull request. Use the [`node-test-pull-request`][]

task. As a convenience, you may apply the `request-ci` label to the pull

request to have a GitHub Actions workflow start the Jenkins CI task for you.

* After two Collaborator approvals for the change and two Collaborator approvals

for fast-tracking, land the PR.

for fast-tracking, land the PR. If you have started a full Jenkins CI, cancel it

from the Jenkins UI since the PR is a doc-only change and does not need

a full CI run, it is just run as an exercise.

* If there are not enough approvals within a reasonable time, consider the

single approval of the onboarding TSC member sufficient, and land the pull

request.

* [`core-validate-commit`][] automates the validation of commit messages.

This will be run during `git node land --final` of the [`git-node`][]

command.

* Normally you can just use the `commit-queue` label to have the

commit queued for landing by the Node.js GitHub bot. But as exercise it is

also useful to learn how to land commits manually in case the bot or the CI

is broken.

* If you are landing the commit manually, to make it appear as "Merged" on GitHub,

after you prepare the landed commit on the local `main` branch, run this:

```bash

git push --force-with-lease your-fork-remote HEAD:your-pr-branch # Update the PR branch in your fork.

git push upstream main # Push the landed commit to the upstream main branch.

```

GitHub will automatically detect that the PR branch is now identical to the

`main` branch and will mark the PR as "Merged".
