GH-PR-CREATE(1) GitHub CLI manual GH-PR-CREATE(1) NAME gh-pr-create - Create a pull request SYNOPSIS gh pr create [flags] DESCRIPTION Create a pull request on GitHub. Upon success, the URL of the created pull request will be printed. 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 reposi- tory. Use --head to explicitly skip any forking or pushing behavior. --head supports <user>:<branch> syntax to select a head repo owned by <user>. Using an organization as the <user> is currently not supported. For more information, see <https://github.com/cli/cli/issues/10093> 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. It's important to notice that if the --title and/or --body are also provided alongside --fill, the values specified by --title and/or --body will take precedence and overwrite any autofilled content. The base branch for the created PR can be specified using the --base flag. If not provided, the value of gh-merge-base git branch config will be used. If not configured, the repository's default branch will be used. Run git config branch.{current}.gh-merge-base {base} to configure the current branch to use the specified merge base. 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 repository can push new commits to the head branch of the pull request. Disable this with --no- maintainer-edit. Adding a pull request to projects requires authorization with the project scope. To authorize, run gh auth refresh -s project. OPTIONS -a, --assignee <login> Assign people by their login. Use "@me" to self-assign. -B, --base <branch> The branch into which you want your code merged -b, --body <string> Body for the pull request -F, --body-file <file> Read body text from file (use "-" to read from standard input) -d, --draft Mark pull request as a draft --dry-run Print details instead of creating the PR. May still push git changes. -e, --editor Skip prompts and open the text editor to write the title and body in. The first line is the title and the remaining text is the body. -f, --fill Use commit info for title and body --fill-first Use first commit info for title and body --fill-verbose Use commits msg+body for description -H, --head <branch> The branch that contains commits for your pull request (default [current branch]) -l, --label <name> Add labels by name -m, --milestone <name> Add the pull request to a milestone by name --no-maintainer-edit Disable maintainer's ability to modify pull request -p, --project <title> Add the pull request to projects by title --recover <string> Recover input from a failed run of create -r, --reviewer <handle> Request reviews from people or teams by their handle -T, --template <file> Template file to use as starting body text -t, --title <string> Title for the pull request -w, --web Open the web browser to create a pull request OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS -R, --repo <[HOST/]OWNER/REPO> Select another repository using the [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format ALIASES gh pr new EXIT CODES 0: Successful execution 1: Error 2: Command canceled 4: Authentication required NOTE: Specific commands may have additional exit codes.
