Why generated README files should be reviewed in a GitHub PR.
Copying generated markdown is fast, but a Pull Request is safer. It keeps the README change visible, reviewable, and tied to the repository history.
The README PR workflow
A branch keeps documentation changes separate from feature work and makes the generated diff easy to review.
A README PR gives reviewers context, comments, checks, and a clear merge decision instead of a pasted file.
Generated docs should be checked for install commands, env vars, deploy details, and anything the model inferred.
The best README is not just polished. It should match what the repo actually needs to run and ship.
