GH PR

Overview

Create or update GitHub Pull Requests with the gh CLI using a detailed body template and strict same-branch rules.

Decision rules (must follow)

  1. Do not create or switch branches. Always use the current branch as the PR head.
  2. Check for an existing PR for the current head branch.
    • gh pr list --head <head> --state all --json number,state,mergedAt,updatedAt,url,title,mergeCommit
  3. If no PR exists → create a new PR.
  4. If any PR exists and is NOT merged (mergedAt is null) → push only and finish (do not create a new PR).
    • This applies to OPEN or CLOSED (unmerged) PRs.
    • Only update title/body/labels if the user explicitly requests changes.
  5. If all PRs for the head are merged → check for post-merge commits (see below).
  6. If multiple PRs exist for the head → use the most recently updated PR for reporting, but the create vs push decision is based on mergedAt.

Post-merge commit check (critical)

When all PRs for the head branch are merged, you must check whether there are new commits after the merge:

  1. Get the merge commit SHA of the most recent merged PR.
  2. Count commits after the merge: git rev-list --count <merge_commit>..HEAD
  3. Decision:
    • If new commits exist → create a new PR (these changes are not in the base branch)
    • If no new commits → report “No changes since last merge” and finish (do not create an empty PR)

Why this matters

  • Scenario A: PR merged → user makes local changes → pushes → changes are NOT in the merged PR
    • Without this check, the changes would be lost or require manual intervention
  • Scenario B: PR merged → user says “create PR” without new changes → would create empty/duplicate PR
    • This check prevents unnecessary PR creation

Workflow (recommended)

  1. Confirm repo + branches

    • Repo root: git rev-parse --show-toplevel
    • Current branch (head): git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
    • Base branch defaults to develop unless user specifies.
  2. Fetch latest remote state

    • git fetch origin to ensure accurate comparison
  3. Check existing PR for head branch

    • Use decision rules above to pick action.
    • Treat mergedAt as the source of truth for “merged”.
  4. If all PRs are merged, perform post-merge commit check

    • Get merge commit: gh pr list --head <head> --state merged --json mergeCommit -q '.[0].mergeCommit.oid'
    • Count new commits: git rev-list --count <merge_commit>..HEAD
    • If 0 → finish with message “No new changes since merge”
    • If >0 → proceed to create new PR
  5. Ensure the head branch is pushed

    • If no upstream: git push -u origin <head>
    • Otherwise: git push
  6. Collect PR inputs (for new PR or explicit update)

    • Title, Summary, Context, Changes, Testing, Risk/Impact, Deployment, Screenshots, Related Links, Notes
    • Optional: labels, reviewers, assignees, draft
  7. Build PR body from template

    • Read references/pr-body-template.md and fill placeholders.
    • If info is missing, keep TODO markers and explicitly mention them in the response.
  8. Create or update the PR

    • Create: gh pr create -B <base> -H <head> --title "<title>" --body-file <file>
    • Update (only if user asked): gh pr edit <number> --title "<title>" --body-file <file>
  9. Return PR URL

    • gh pr view <number> --json url -q .url
