ship-it

You can automate end-to-end git shipping by running a script that syncs main, creates a feature branch, commits all changes, pushes, opens a pull request, and merges. This eliminates manual git commands across the entire PR lifecycle.

The best way to create a feature branch and merge automatically is using a dedicated shipping script. It handles branch creation, commits all changes with git add -A, pushes to remote, and merges the pull request without manual intervention.

Yes, you need a local Git environment to automate pull request creation and merging. The automation relies on a shell script at .claude/scripts/ship-it.sh to execute local git commands for branch creation, committing, pushing, and PR merging.

Automated PR scaffolding handles missing information by issuing optional prompts during the shipping process. When commit messages or co-author lines are absent, the script pauses to request the required input before generating the PR body and merging.

Yes, you can ship multiple commits in a single pull request using branch automation. The script commits all staged changes via git add -A and bundles them into one PR before merging, ensuring consistent grouping of related changes.

Git branch automation may fail before PR merge if the local repository is not synced with main or if required information like branch names is missing. The script attempts to sync main first and prompts for missing data to prevent merge failures.
