Creating Pr From Branch

Create PR from Current Branch

Base branch: $ARGUMENTS (default: main)

Step 1: Analyze Branch

Run using the Bash tool:

• git branch --show-current — current branch name
• git log --oneline ..HEAD — commits to include
• git diff --stat ..HEAD — overall diff stats
• git remote -v — verify remote exists

If no commits ahead of base, stop and inform the user.

Step 2: Generate PR Title and Body

Title: Derive from commits using conventional commit format.

• Single commit: use commit subject as-is
• Multiple commits: synthesize a summary title (type[(scope)]: description)
• Keep under 72 characters

Body: Check for .github/pull_request_template.md. If it exists, populate its sections. If not, use this minimal format:

## Summary

## Commits

Body guidelines:

• Fill template checkboxes where applicable (check items that are done)
• Include Closes #N if the branch name contains an issue number
• Keep it concise — the diff speaks for itself

Step 3: Pause for Approval

Present the title and body. Ask the user:

• Approve: "yes", "y", "create", "go ahead"
• Edit: Provide changes to title or body
• Cancel: "no", "cancel", "stop"

Step 4: Push and Create PR

Once approved:

# Push branch (set upstream)
git push -u origin 

# Create PR
# In Codespaces: override token if GH_PAT is needed for cross-repo
gh pr create --base  --title "" --body "$(cat 
EOF
)"

Auth handling: If gh pr create fails with 403/422, retry with GITHUB_TOKEN="" GH_TOKEN="${GH_PAT}" prefix (Codespaces token override).

After creation, output the PR URL.

Step 5: Post-Create

• gh pr view --web — open in browser (optional, ask user)
