Professional PR Workflow

Overview

Automates the complete pull request workflow: branch creation, code formatting, commit integration, and PR creation via GitHub CLI.

Features:

• Intelligent branch management - detects protected branches
• Integration with professional-commit-workflow - no commit duplication
• Automatic code formatting (Biome, Black, Prettier, etc.)
• GitHub CLI integration - PR creation, labels, issue linking
• Meaningful PR descriptions with test plan
• Draft PR support - mark WIP PRs

Prerequisites

Required:

• Git (2.0+)
• Python 3.8+
• GitHub CLI (gh) - installed and authenticated

Optional (for code formatting):

• JavaScript/TypeScript: Biome or Prettier
• Python: Black, isort, Ruff
• Java: Google Java Format
• Markdown: markdownlint

Usage Workflow

1. Check branch status:

   • Protected branch (main/master/develop)? -> Create new branch
   • Feature branch? -> Use current branch

2. Commit changes:

   • Uncommitted changes? -> Invoke professional-commit-workflow
   • Already committed? -> Use existing commits

3. Format code (optional, skip with --no-format)

4. Create PR:

   • Push branch to remote
   • Generate PR title and description
   • Create PR via gh pr create

Main Script Usage

# Standard PR workflow
python scripts/main.py

# Draft PR
python scripts/main.py --draft

# Without formatting
python scripts/main.py --no-format

# Single commit (all changes in one)
python scripts/main.py --single-commit

# Change target branch
python scripts/main.py --target develop

Supported Formatters

Python

• Black: black .
