Preserve the existing content format, replace the old data with the new data - change the post title to the commit comment, update the date, change “April 29-30 2021” to whatever period was covered by the checkprimegaplist scan (see previous posts for examples), then copy and paste from the commit data to change the body content to match the commit data.

Save the file. Commit the changes, push the commit, create PR. Job done.
