GitHub PR Workflow

Detect VCS

First, determine which version control system is in use:

if [ -d ".jj" ]; then
  echo "jujutsu"
else
  echo "git"
fi

Pre-flight Checks

Run these checks before submitting any PR:

deno fmt --check
deno lint
deno run test

Fix any issues before proceeding. All checks must pass.

If deno fmt --check fails, run deno fmt to auto-fix formatting, then re-run the checks.

Create PR

After pushing changes (see VCS reference), create the PR:

gh pr create --head <branch-or-bookmark> --base main --title "Title here" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary

Brief description of changes.

## Test Plan

- How the changes were tested
EOF
)"

Check Merge Status

To check if a PR is ready to merge:

# Check CI status
gh pr checks <pr-number>

# View PR details including review status
gh pr view <pr-number>

Handle Blocking Reviews

When a PR has blocking review feedback:

  1. Get the review comments:

    gh pr view <pr-number> --comments
    
  2. Enter plan mode to analyze the feedback and plan fixes

  3. Implement the fixes

  4. Push updates (see VCS reference for push commands)

  5. Re-request review if needed:

    gh pr edit <pr-number> --add-reviewer <username>
    

Handle Suggestions

When reviewers provide non-blocking suggestions:

  1. Get suggestions from the review:

    gh pr view <pr-number> --comments
    
  2. Enter plan mode to evaluate each suggestion

  3. Decide which suggestions to implement (discuss with user if unclear)

  4. Implement approved suggestions and push

  5. Respond to suggestions you chose not to implement with reasoning

Merge PR

Once all checks pass and reviews are approved:

# Squash merge (preferred)
gh pr merge <pr-number> --squash --delete-branch

# Or merge commit
gh pr merge <pr-number> --merge --delete-branch
