Opening pull requests
You can open a new pull request without going to GitHub. GH Planner creates it as you and links it to your task in the same step.
From a task
Section titled “From a task”- Open the task.
- Select Open a new pull request prefilled with this task.
- The PR form opens with the task’s title and description already filled in.
- Check the details (see below) and create the PR.
The task is linked to the new PR and moves to the Pull Request column.
From the Open PR view
Section titled “From the Open PR view”Select Open PR in the planner’s top menu to open a pull request that isn’t tied to an existing task, or to choose the task as you go.
If the board has a repository set, PRs are Locked to that repository. Otherwise you can open one in any repo you can access.
Filling in the form
Section titled “Filling in the form”| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Provider | GitHub or GitLab, if you’ve connected both. |
| Repository | The repository to open the PR in. Search your repositories by name. |
| Branches | The branch with your changes (for example my-feature-branch) and the branch to merge into (usually main). |
| Title | A short summary. Prefilled from the task when you start from one. |
| Description | Summary, motivation and test plan. Prefilled from the task description. |
GH Planner shows a comparison of the two branches so you can check that the right commits are included.
Draft pull requests
Section titled “Draft pull requests”Use the arrow next to the create button (Toggle draft option) to switch to Create draft pull request. Draft PRs can’t be merged until they’re marked ready for review on GitHub.
After creating
Section titled “After creating”You’ll see a confirmation with the PR number, plus buttons to Open on GitHub or Create another.
