When to use

- You need to enable auto-merge.
Inputs to confirm
- PR number/URL/branch (or use current branch PR).
- Merge strategy:
--merge,--squash, or--rebase. - Whether to delete the branch, use auto-merge, or use admin override.
Workflow
- Verify auth and PR status:
gh --version gh auth status gh pr view 123 - Merge:
gh pr merge 123 --squash gh pr merge 123 --merge --delete-branch - Enable auto-merge if required checks are pending:
gh pr merge 123 --auto --squash
Examples
# Squash merge and delete branch
~ gh pr merge 123 --squash --delete-branch
Notes

gh pr mergewill use it automatically. - Use
--adminonly when you have permission to bypass requirements.
