GitHub PR Tool

Fetch and merge GitHub pull requests into your local branch. Perfect for:

• Trying upstream PRs before they're merged

• Incorporating features from open PRs into your fork

• Testing PR compatibility locally

Prerequisites

• gh CLI authenticated (gh auth login )

• Git repository with remotes configured

Commands

Preview a PR

github-pr preview <owner/repo> <pr-number>

Shows PR title, author, status, files changed, CI status, and recent comments.

Fetch PR branch locally

github-pr fetch <owner/repo> <pr-number> [--branch <name>]

Fetches the PR head into a local branch (default: pr/<number> ).

Merge PR into current branch

github-pr merge <owner/repo> <pr-number> [--no-install]

Fetches and merges the PR. Optionally runs install after merge.

Full test cycle

github-pr test <owner/repo> <pr-number>

Fetches, merges, installs dependencies, and runs build + tests.

Examples

Preview MS Teams PR from clawdbot

github-pr preview clawdbot/clawdbot 404

Fetch it locally

github-pr fetch clawdbot/clawdbot 404

Merge into your current branch

github-pr merge clawdbot/clawdbot 404

Or do the full test cycle

github-pr test clawdbot/clawdbot 404

Notes

• PRs are fetched from the upstream remote by default

• Use --remote <name> to specify a different remote

• Merge conflicts must be resolved manually

• The test command auto-detects package manager (npm/pnpm/yarn/bun)
