Common Operations

GitHub CLI Commands Reference

# PR Management
gh pr view                                    # View current branch PR
gh pr list                                    # List open PRs
gh pr view <number> --json number -q .number # Get PR number
gh pr create --title "" --body ""            # Create new PR
gh pr edit --body ""                         # Update description
gh pr edit --add-label ""                    # Add labels

Git Commands

git branch --show-current # Current branch git status # Check changes git diff # View unstaged changes git diff --cached # View staged changes git diff HEAD~1..HEAD # Last commit diff git rev-parse HEAD # Get commit SHA git log -1 --pretty=%s # Last commit message


## Workflow

### Creating/Updating Pull Requests

1. **Branch Management**:

   - Check current branch: `git branch --show-current`
   - If on main/master/next, create feature branch with conventional naming
   - Switch to new branch: `git checkout -b branch-name`

2. **Analyze & Stage**:

   - Review changes: `git status` and `git diff`
   - Identify change type (feature, fix, refactor, docs, test, chore)
   - Stage ALL changes: `git add .` (preferred due to slow Husky hooks)
   - Verify: `git diff --cached`

3. **Commit & Push**:

   - **Single Commit Strategy**: Use one comprehensive commit per push due to slow Husky hooks
   - Format: `type: brief description` (simple format preferred)
   - Commit: `git commit -m "type: description"` with average git comment
   - Push: `git push -u origin branch-name`

4. **PR Management**:

   - Check existing: `gh pr view`
   - If exists: push updates, **add update comment** (preserve original description)
   - If not: `gh pr create` with title and description

## Update Comment Templates

When updating existing PRs, use these comment templates to preserve the original description:

### General PR Update Template

```markdown

Example Usage Patterns

Creating PR:

Create branch and make changes
Stage, commit, push → triggers PR creation
Each subsequent push triggers update comment
