Approve Pull Request
Approve a pull request using gh pr review --approve.
Input
$ARGUMENTS
Step 1: Determine the Target PR
Parse $ARGUMENTS to identify the PR to approve:
Case A: PR number or URL is provided
- Extract the PR number from the argument
- Examples:
123, #123, https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123
Case B: No argument provided
Case C: Unable to determine the PR
If the PR cannot be determined (e.g., no PR exists for the current branch, or the argument is ambiguous), ask the user to specify which PR to approve.
Step 2: Verify the PR
Before approving, confirm the PR details:
gh pr view <pr_number> --json number,title,state,author,baseRefName,headRefName,isDraft
Check:
- The PR state is
OPEN
- The PR is not a draft (
isDraft is false)
- Display the PR title, number, and author to the user for confirmation
If the PR is not open or is a draft, inform the user and stop.
Step 3: Approve the PR
Execute the approve command:
gh pr review <pr_number> --approve
Important: Only approve ONE PR at a time. If multiple PRs are somehow specified, ask the user which single PR to approve.
If you want to add a comment along with the approval, use the --body option:
gh pr review <pr_number> --approve --body "<approval_comment>"
Step 4: Report Result
After approving:
- Confirm the PR was successfully approved
- Display the approved PR number and title
