FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically update PR descriptions from a template?▼

Automatically update PR descriptions by reading the repository template, fetching diff summaries, and applying the template-driven description to the PR body via API calls. This ensures required sections are present and placeholders are filled accurately.

Does PR description automation work with both GitHub and Forgejo?▼

PR description automation supports both GitHub and Forgejo by detecting the forge from the remote URL. It then fetches metadata and diffs to compose a consistent description across both platforms.

Can I update a pull request description using the PR URL instead of a number?▼

You can update a pull request description using either the PR number or URL. The automation parses the input, detects the forge, fetches metadata and diffs, and applies the template to the PR body.

What is a diff summary in an automated PR description?▼

A diff summary in an automated PR description provides a concise overview of changes by retrieving PR metadata and diffs. It is composed into the description alongside the repository template to ensure consistency.

Are there limitations when applying PR templates across different forks?▼

Limitations are minimal as the process detects the forge from the remote URL and applies the template-driven description robustly. It requires parsing PR inputs correctly and handling errors during API calls to update the PR body.
