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:

   # macOS
   brew install gh
   
   # Windows
   winget install --id GitHub.cli
   
   # Linux
   # Follow instructions at https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/trunk/docs/install_linux.md
   

2. Authenticate with GitHub:

   gh auth login
   

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:

   Skill: commit
   

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:

   # Basic command structure
   gh pr create --draft --title "✨(scope): Your descriptive title" --body "Your PR description" --base main 
   

   For more complex PR descriptions with proper formatting, use the --body-file option with the exact PR template structure:

   # Create PR with proper template structure
   gh pr create --draft --title "✨(scope): Your descriptive title" --body-file .github/pull_request_template.md --base main
   

Best Practices

1. Language: Always use English for PR titles and descriptions

2. PR Title Format: Use conventional commit format with emojis
