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

• Get the PR associated with the current branch:

  gh pr view --json number,title,state
  

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:

1. The PR state is OPEN
2. The PR is not a draft (isDraft is false)
3. 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:

1. Confirm the PR was successfully approved
2. Display the approved PR number and title
