gh pr create
Create a pull request
Synopsis
Create a pull request on GitHub.
When the current branch isn't fully pushed to a git remote, a prompt will ask where
to push the branch and offer an option to fork the base repository. Use --head
to
explicitly skip any forking or pushing behavior.
A prompt will also ask for the title and the body of the pull request. Use --title
and --body
to skip this, or use --fill
to autofill these values from git commits.
Link an issue to the pull request by referencing the issue in the body of the pull
request. If the body text mentions Fixes #123
or Closes #123
, the referenced issue
will automatically get closed when the pull request gets merged.
By default, users with write access to the base respository can push new commits to the
head branch of the pull request. Disable this with --no-maintainer-edit
.

This command will automatically create a fork for you if you're in a repository that you don't have permission to push to.
