PR Committer

Use bundled script scripts/pr-commiter for a deterministic commit that enforces branches and PR creation.

Flow

1. Preflight

• git status --porcelain=v1 -b
• git branch --show-current
• If merge/rebase/cherry-pick in progress, stop.
• If on protected branch, the script will create a new branch automatically.

2. Pick files

• Use explicit paths only. Never use ..
• If unsure, list candidates from git status and ask for selection.

3. Run commit script

• ./scripts/pr-commiter commit -m "type(scope): summary" -- path/to/file1 path/to/file2
• If you need a dry run: ./scripts/pr-commiter plan -m "type(scope): summary" -- path/to/file1
• If PR should be skipped: add --no-pr
• If PR creation needs push: add --push (explicit consent)

Flags

• --reset-staged clear existing staged changes before staging listed paths
• --no-pr skip PR creation
• --push push branch before creating PR
• --force-lock remove stale .git/index.lock and retry
• --json machine-readable output
• --dry-run validate + plan only

Behavior

• Stages only provided paths.
• Refuses merge/rebase/cherry-pick in progress.
• Creates a new branch if current is protected or detached.
• Refuses if staged changes exist unless --reset-staged.
• Fails if nothing staged for provided paths.
• Creates PR via gh unless --no-pr. Requires --push if no upstream.
• Uses .committerrc for policy.

Errors

• Quote exact error text back to user.
• Ask for next action if blocked.

Optional verification

• git show --stat --oneline HEAD
• git status --porcelain=v1 -b
• gh pr view --json url --jq '.url'
