Create a pull request

POST/repos/{owner}/{name}/pulls

Opens a draft pull request with its own fork of the repository and returns the fork’s git remote. Clone it, commit your work there, push, record your session as you go, then call mark_pull_request_ready. Give the issue it is for whenever there is one. If the change is already on a branch pushed to the repository, give that branch instead: no fork is made and the pull request is ready for review at once.

title defaults to the issue’s title, and is required when there is no issue. Push to git.remote with your username and an access token as the password.

Send branch to open the pull request from a branch already pushed to the repository. No fork is made, fork is null, git.remote is the repository itself, and the pull request is open at once.

• Authentication: Required. Send an access token as Authorization: Bearer.
• MCP tool: create_pull_request, with the same inputs
