## About

# GitHub Patterns

## Tools

Use `gh` CLI for all GitHub operations. Prefer CLI over GitHub MCP servers for lower context usage.

## Quick Commands

```bash
# Create a PR from the current branch
gh pr create --title "feat: add feature" --body "Description"

# Squash-merge a PR
gh pr merge  --squash --title "feat: add feature (#)"

# View PR status and checks
gh pr status
gh pr checks 
```

## Stacked PR Workflow Summary

When merging a chain of stacked PRs (each targeting the previous branch):

1. **Merge the first PR** into main via squash merge
2. **For each subsequent PR**: rebase onto main, update base to main, then squash merge
3. **On conflicts**: stop and ask the user to resolve manually

```bash
# Rebase next PR's branch onto main, excluding already-merged commits
git rebase --onto origin/main  
git push --force-with-lease origin 
gh pr edit  --base main
gh pr merge  --squash --title " (#N)"
```

See [stacked-pr-workflow.md][stacked-pr-workflow] for full step-by-step details.
