To publish local git changes to GitHub and open a draft PR, you need to stage your commits, push them to the remote repository, and then create a draft pull request. A guided workflow ensures safe scope confirmation and branch handling.

The safest way to create a draft PR from a subset of local changes is to use a guided workflow that includes explicit user confirmation for scope and stage actions. This ensures atomic commits and correct branch management before pushing.

You do not strictly need the gh CLI to create a draft PR, as the GitHub App serves as the primary path. However, gh CLI is used as a fallback for repository discovery and PR creation when the app path cannot infer the head branch.

A guided git workflow handles branch management by checking authentication sessions and confirming the target branch before pushing. It ensures your local commits are staged correctly and pushed safely to the remote repository.

Using a draft PR for publishing local commits to GitHub indicates work in progress and prevents premature reviews. It allows you to safely push a subset of staged changes while keeping the branch management and commit scope explicitly confirmed.
