FAQPage Schema
How do I fetch a pull request diff and metadata for code review?▼

To fetch a pull request diff and metadata for code review, you can use a tool that retrieves the complete diff, base branch, title, body, labels, and commit messages. This automates the extraction of comprehensive PR data to streamline analysis.

What is the best way to get pull request commits and changes from a URL?▼

The best way to get pull request commits and changes from a URL is to use an automated fetcher that accepts a PR URL as input. It extracts the complete code differences and commit history, prioritizing GitHub CLI and falling back to the GitHub API.

Does the PR fetcher work without the GitHub CLI installed?▼

Yes, the PR fetcher works without the GitHub CLI installed by falling back to the GitHub API via WebFetch. If neither is available, it uses local Git for current branch analysis to ensure cross-platform compatibility.

Can I retrieve code differences for the current Git branch instead of a PR number?▼

Yes, you can retrieve code differences for the current Git branch by providing "current-branch" as the input. The fetcher uses local Git to analyze the current branch and extract the relevant pull request data.

What pull request data formats can I use as input to fetch a diff?▼

You can use various input formats to fetch a pull request diff, including a direct PR URL, a PR number, or the keyword "current-branch". The tool processes these inputs to retrieve comprehensive data like metadata and commit messages.
