# Opening a Pull Request
This skill guides you through pushing your branch and creating a pull request on GitHub.
## Prerequisites
- Local commits already created and ready to push
- Branch created locally (see `create-issue-branch` skill for branch creation)
- GitHub CLI installed and authenticated
## Workflow
### Step 1 — Push the branch to remote
Push the local branch to the remote repository:
```bash
git push -u origin <branch-name>
```
The `-u` flag sets the upstream tracking branch. Git will output a link to create a PR.
### Step 2 — Prepare the PR title and description
**Title**: Follow Conventional Commits format with the issue type and scope
**Examples**:
- `feat(docker): update Docker images for security vulnerability fixes`
- `fix(tracker): resolve UDP socket binding issue`
- `docs: update deployment guide`
**Description**: Should include:
- Brief summary of the change
- Context or motivation (reference related issues or PRs)
- Changes made (list key files or components modified)
- Verification checklist (if applicable)
- Link to related issue using `Fixes #<issue-number>` or `Refs: #<issue-number>`
### Step 3 — Create the pull request
Use GitHub CLI to create the PR with title and description:
```bash
gh pr create \
--title "feat(scope): description" \
--body "Description with Fixes #<issue-number>" \
--base main \
--head <branch-name>
```
The `--body` parameter supports markdown. Use `Fixes #<issue-number>` to auto-link and auto-close the issue when merged.
### Step 4 — Verify the PR was created
GitHub CLI will output the PR URL:
```text
https://github.com/torrust/torrust-tracker-demo/pull/<number>
```
Open it to:
- Review the commits
- Verify the issue is linked
- Check that CI/CD checks pass
- Monitor for review comments
## Tips
- **Link to issues**: Always include `Fixes #<issue-number>` in the PR body to auto-link
- **Review before pushing**: Run `git log --oneline -n <count>` to verify commits are correct
- **Check branch status**: Verify you're on the correct branch with `git status` before pushing
- **Wait for checks**: GitHub Actions will run linters and tests. Wait for them to pass before merging.
