Create Pull Request

Create a pull request with a well-structured description based on the branch changes.

Instructions

1. Gather Context

First, collect information about the changes:

bash
# Get current branch and verify it's not main
git branch --show-current

# Get commit history for this branch
git log --oneline main..HEAD

# Get detailed commit messages for context
git log --format="### %s%n%n%b" main..HEAD

# Get file change statistics
git diff --stat main..HEAD

# Get the actual diff for understanding changes
git diff main..HEAD

2. Analyze the Changes

Based on the gathered information, determine:

  • What changed: Categorize changes (features, fixes, refactors, docs, tests)
  • Why it changed: Infer motivation from commit messages and code changes
  • Impact: Breaking changes, new dependencies, migrations needed
  • Testing: What tests were added/modified, how to verify manually

3. Check for Related Issues

Look for issue references:

  • In commit messages (e.g., "fixes #123", "closes #456")
  • In branch name (e.g., fix/issue-123-description)
  • In code comments or TODOs addressed

4. Generate PR Description

Create the PR using this template structure:

bash
gh pr create --title "<type>(<scope>): <description>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary

<1-3 sentence overview of what this PR does and why>

## Changes

<Categorized bullet list of changes>

### Added
- <new features or capabilities>

### Changed
- <modifications to existing functionality>

### Fixed
- <bug fixes>

### Removed
- <deprecated or removed functionality>

## Motivation

<Why were these changes needed? What problem does this solve?>

## Testing

<How was this tested?>

- [ ] Unit tests added/updated
- [ ] Integration tests added/updated
- [ ] Manual testing performed

### Manual Testing Steps

<If applicable, steps to manually verify the changes>

## Breaking Changes

<If any, describe what breaks and migration path. Remove section if none.>

## Related Issues

<Link to related issues. Remove section if none.>

- Closes #<issue_number>

5. Title Format

Use conventional commit format for the PR title:

  • feat(scope): add new feature
  • fix(scope): correct bug behavior
  • refactor(scope): restructure without behavior change
  • docs(scope): update documentation
  • test(scope): add or modify tests
  • chore(scope): maintenance tasks

6. Apply Labels

After creating the PR, apply appropriate labels based on the changes. Use gh pr edit <number> --add-label <label>.

Check the repository's available labels first:

bash
gh label list

Common Type Labels

LabelWhen to Use
enhancementNew features, capabilities, or improvements
bugBug fixes
documentationDocumentation-only changes
breaking-changeUser-facing breaking changes requiring migration

Breaking Change Criteria

Only apply breaking-change for user-facing changes that require users to modify their:

  • Configuration files
  • CLI invocations
  • API integrations

Do NOT apply for internal refactors unless they affect external consumers.

7. After Creation

After creating the PR:

  1. Display the PR URL with applied labels
  2. Suggest adding reviewers if appropriate
  3. Note if any CI checks need to pass

Guidelines

DO:

  • Be specific about what changed and why
  • Include testing evidence
  • Link related issues
  • Note breaking changes prominently
  • Remove empty optional sections

DON'T:

  • Include irrelevant commits (keep PR focused)
  • Leave placeholder text in the description
  • Skip the testing section
  • Create PRs without running local checks first
