Summary:
Thanks for submitting a PR! Please read these instructions carefully:
- [ ] Explain the **motivation** for making this change.
- [ ] Provide a **test plan** demonstrating that the code is solid.
- [ ] Match the **code formatting** of the rest of the codebase.
- [ ] Target the `master` branch, NOT a "stable" branch.
What existing problem does the pull request solve?
A good test plan has the exact commands you ran and their output, provides screenshots or videos if the pull request changes UI or updates the website. See [What is a Test Plan?][1] to learn more.
If you have added code that should be tested, add tests.
Sign the [CLA][2], if you haven't already.
Small pull requests are much easier to review and more likely to get merged. Make sure the PR does only one thing, otherwise please split it.
Make sure all **tests pass** on both [Travis][3] and [Circle CI][4]. PRs that break tests are unlikely to be merged.

Summary:
I've noticed many pull requests are opened with a very short description that fails to explain the motivation behind the PR, and many more forego providing a test plan. With this PR, I am shortening the template in order to provide concise instructions that provide the essential steps above the fold in the "Open a pull request" composer window.
- We need people to open a PR against master, not stable. The exact reason for this is not important and providing an explanation takes away from other more important points.
- Test plans are essential, but their requirement appears below the fold in the current template.
- More PRs could use tests.
- Make a point of asking PR authors to follow up on CI test failures.
- The composer does not parse Markdown into HTML. Markdown is pretty readable as is, but using reference links instead of inline links should help with readability.
I observed that it will only display the first 8 lines of the PR template above the fold. Seeing t

It's sometimes helpful to provide the Xcode version being used, as in the case of #12795.

Summary:
I notice most people filing issues are ignoring the issue template. I think we should try making it more concise, in particular asking people to provide a rnplay.org reproduction if it is possible.

Summary:
Provide a sample new issue template to encourage people to provide additional detail as needed. This should help us reduce the number of new issues that are opened without sufficient information or actionable requests.
The minimal use of markdown is intentional, as these guidelines are more likely to be found in raw text inside the [new issue composer](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/new) rather than rendered to HTML.

Summary:
We've been getting a lot of documentation PRs opened against `0.29-stable`, `0.30-stable`, and so on, instead of `master`. This is because our doc site is also based on RN release cuts, so clicking on the "Edit on GitHub" links on a document will take you to the markdown source for that release branch instead of the latest doc on `master`.
See #9095 for an example of such a PR.
In this PR we edit the link to say View on GitHub. Though it may not prevent PRs from being opened against a release branch, removing the "Edit" CTA may help in this regard.

Summary:
This moves the Template files to the .github folder. This helps clear up the extra files in the root of the directory.
This is my first PR 😄 and I plan to contribute more to this awesome project.
