Fix Linting and TypeScript Issues on a PR

Checks out a PR, auto-fixes linting and TypeScript issues, and pushes the fixes.

Step 1 — Get the PR number

If the user provided a PR number, use it directly. Otherwise ask for it.

Step 2 — Check out the PR

Use gh pr checkout so it works for both fork and non-fork PRs:

gh pr checkout <PR_NUMBER>

This automatically sets up the correct remote tracking and switches to the PR branch, even when the PR comes from a fork.

Step 3 — Install dependencies

yarn

Step 4 — Compile the repo

Compiling first ensures TS declarations referenced by the linter are present:

yarn nx run-many -t compile

Step 5 — Fix linting errors

yarn lint

Step 6 — Fix TypeScript errors

Run the TypeScript checker to surface remaining type errors:

yarn nx run-many -t check

Read the output carefully. Fix each type error manually by editing the relevant file(s). Common fixes:

  • Add or correct type annotations
  • Fix incorrect generics
  • Resolve any assignments that violate strict mode
  • Add missing imports or re-exports

Re-run yarn nx run-many -t check after each batch of edits to confirm errors are resolved.

Step 7 — Commit the fixes

Stage only the files you changed:

git add <files-you-modified>
git commit -m "Maintenance: Fix linting and TypeScript errors"

Do not use git add -A — avoid accidentally staging unrelated files.

Step 8 — Push the fixes

For fork PRs gh pr checkout sets up the correct upstream tracking. Push directly:

git push

Notes

  • Only fix errors that are clearly linting or TypeScript issues. Do not refactor logic.
  • If a TypeScript error requires a non-trivial code change, surface it to the user and ask before proceeding.
  • If gh pr checkout fails due to permissions on a fork, inform the user — they may need to grant write access to the fork or the maintainer must push directly.
  • After pushing, confirm with the user that the CI is green.
