/git:pr

Variables

TO_BRANCH: $1 (defaults to main) FROM_BRANCH: $2 (defaults to current branch)

Workflow

Step 1: Ensure remote is synced

git fetch origin
git push -u origin HEAD  # Push current branch if not pushed

Step 2: Analyze REMOTE diff (CRITICAL)

IMPORTANT: Always compare REMOTE branches, not local:

# Get commits between remote branches (what PR will actually contain)
git log origin/{TO_BRANCH}...origin/{FROM_BRANCH} --oneline

# Get file diff between remote branches
git diff origin/{TO_BRANCH}...origin/{FROM_BRANCH} --stat
git diff origin/{TO_BRANCH}...origin/{FROM_BRANCH}

DO NOT use:

• git diff {TO_BRANCH}...HEAD (includes unpushed local changes)
• git diff --cached (staged local changes)
• git status (local working tree state)

Step 3: Generate PR content from remote diff

Based on the REMOTE diff analysis:

• Title: Conventional commit format from the primary change (no version/release numbers)
• Body: Summary of changes that exist ON REMOTE, not local WIP

Step 4: Create PR

gh pr create --base {TO_BRANCH} --head {FROM_BRANCH} --title "..." --body "..."

Notes

• If gh command is not available, instruct the user to install and authorize GitHub CLI first.
• If local has unpushed commits, push first before analyzing diff.
• PR content must reflect REMOTE state since PRs are based on remote branches.
