GitHub PR Create

When to use

  • The user asks to open a pull request.
  • You need to create a draft or request reviews.

Inputs to confirm

  • Base branch and head branch (if not current).
  • Title/body or whether to use --fill.
  • Draft status, reviewers, labels, assignees, milestone, project.
  • Target repo if not current (--repo OWNER/REPO).

Workflow

  1. Verify auth:
    gh --version
gh auth status
  2. Create the PR:
    gh pr create --title "Fix auth" --body "Fixes #123" --base main
gh pr create --fill --draft --reviewer "alice"
  3. Optional: web flow or template:
    gh pr create --web
gh pr create --template "pull_request_template.md"

Examples

# Draft PR with auto-filled title/body
~ gh pr create --fill --draft

Notes

  • Mention Fixes #123 / Closes #123 in the PR body to auto-close issues on merge.
  • --head supports user:branch to target a fork.
  • Adding to projects may require gh auth refresh -s project.
