pr

To create a GitHub pull request automatically, the tool gathers your git and remote state, handles uncommitted changes, pushes to origin, and runs gh pr create targeting the canary branch. It also searches for related issues to link in the PR body.

To prevent a duplicate GitHub pull request, the tool performs contextual checks for existing PRs on your current branch before creating a new one. It verifies upstream status and remote state to ensure you do not open redundant pull requests.

You cannot create a pull request directly to main from canary or main itself. The workflow enforces a safe branch strategy by targeting the canary branch as the base, creating a feature branch if you have uncommitted changes on main.

When you try to create a PR with uncommitted changes on canary or main, the tool automatically creates a new feature branch to safely preserve your work. It then pushes this feature branch to origin before opening the pull request.

You need both the git and gh CLI tools installed to automate pull request creation. The tool relies on gh pr create to open the pull request and git to collect local repository state, handle branch switches, and push to the remote origin.

Linking a related issue to a pull request works by searching for related GitHub issues during the creation process. The tool summarizes your code changes and uses an English PR template body to connect the fix with the appropriate issue context.
