How to Create a Pull Request Using GitHub CLI
This guide explains how to create pull requests using GitHub CLI in our project.
Important : All PR titles and descriptions should be written in English.
Prerequisites
Check if gh is installed, if not follow this instruction to install it:
1. Install GitHub CLI if you haven't already:
2. Authenticate with GitHub:
Pre flight Checks
Before creating a PR, check for uncommitted changes:
1. Run git status to check for uncommitted changes (staged, unstaged, or untracked files)
2. If uncommitted changes exist, use the Skill tool to run the commit skill first:
3. This ensures all your work is committed before creating the PR
Creating a New Pull Request
1. First, prepare your PR description following the template in @.github/pull request template.md
2. Use the gh pr create draft command to create a new pull request:
For more complex PR descriptions with proper formatting, use the body file option with the exact PR template structure:
Best Practices
1. Language : Always use English for PR titles and descriptions
2. PR Title Format : Use conventional commit format with emojis
Always include an appropriate emoji at the beginning of the title
Use the actual emoji character (not the code representation like :sparkles: )
Examples:
✨(supabase): Add staging remote configuration
🐛(auth): Fix login redirect issue
📝(readme): Update installation instructions
3. Description Template : Always use our PR template structure from @.github/pull request template.md:
4. Template Accuracy : Ensure your PR description precisely follows the template structure:
Don't modify or rename the PR Agent sections ( pr agent:summary and pr agent:walkthrough )
Keep all section headers exactly as they appear in the template
Don't add custom sections that aren't in the template
5. Draft PRs : Start as draft when the work is in progress
Use draft flag in the command
Convert to ready for review when complete using gh pr ready
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Using Non English Text : All PR content must be in English
2. Incorrect Section Headers : Always use the exact section headers from the template
3. Adding Custom Sections : Stick to the sections defined in the template
4. Using Outdated Templates : Always refer to the current @.github/pull request template.md file
Missing Sections
Always include all template sections, even if some are marked as "N/A" or "None"
Additional GitHub CLI PR Commands

Using Templates for PR Creation
To simplify PR creation with consistent descriptions, you can create a template file:
1. Create a file named pr template.md with your PR template
2. Use it when creating PRs:
