PR Create

Create GitHub pull requests via gh pr create.

Format

Title: Commit subject or change summary

Body:

## Summary
- Change description (bullets OK)

## Test plan
- [ ] Verification steps

Workflow

1. Verify not on main/master
2. Check for existing PR on branch
3. Detect base branch
4. Generate title from commits
5. Build body with summary + test plan
6. Create PR

Commands

# Check current branch
git branch --show-current

# Check for existing PR
gh pr list --head $(git branch --show-current)

# Create PR
gh pr create --title "$TITLE" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
- Change 1
- Change 2

## Test plan
- [ ] Test item
EOF
)"

Title Generation

Use first commit subject from branch, or summarize if multiple commits:

# Single commit - use subject
git log origin/main..HEAD --format='%s' | head -1

# Multiple commits - summarize changes
git log origin/main..HEAD --oneline

Body Style

Bullets allowed in PR body (unlike commit messages):

• Summary section lists changes
• Test plan uses checkboxes

Keep concise. One line per logical change.

Draft PRs

Use --draft when:

• Work in progress
• User requests draft
• Waiting for CI setup

gh pr create --draft --title "$TITLE" --body "$BODY"

Base Branch

Detect automatically:

gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq '.defaultBranchRef.name'

Override with --base:

gh pr create --base develop --title "$TITLE" --body "$BODY"

Safety

• Verify branch is not main/master before creating
• Check for existing PR to avoid duplicates
• Never create PR from main to main
