github-pr-workflow

Use `gh pr create` with a title and body if the GitHub CLI is installed, or send a POST request to the GitHub REST API pulls endpoint with curl and a GITHUB_TOKEN. Both approaches are covered, including draft PRs, reviewers, and labels.

Run `gh pr checks --watch` to poll until checks finish, or query the commit status and check-runs API endpoints with curl using the branch HEAD SHA. A polling loop example checks status every 30 seconds until success or failure.

Yes, every operation has a git plus curl fallback using the GitHub REST API with a GITHUB_TOKEN. The token can come from the environment, a .env file, or git-credentials, and owner/repo is extracted from the git remote URL.

Download the failed run logs with `gh run view --log-failed` or the logs API, identify the failure pattern (test, lint, type, build, permission, timeout), fix the code, commit, and push. The auto-fix loop repeats up to three attempts before asking the user.

With gh, run `gh pr merge --auto --squash --delete-branch`. With curl, auto-merge requires the GraphQL API enablePullRequestAutoMerge mutation using the PR node_id, and the repository must have auto-merge enabled in settings.
