Create a simple PR from staged changes with an auto-generated commit message
Follow these steps to create a simple PR from staged changes:
Run: `git status`
Verify that all changes have been staged (no unstaged changes). If there are unstaged changes, abort and ask the user to stage their changes first with `git add`.
Also verify that we are on the `main` branch. If not, abort and ask the user to switch to main first.
Run: `git pull origin main`
This ensures we're working from the latest code.
Run: `git diff --cached`
Review the staged changes to understand what the PR will contain.
Based on the staged changes, generate a concise commit message (1-2 sentences) that describes the "why" rather than the "what".
Display the proposed commit message to the user and ask for confirmation before proceeding.
Get the git username: `git config user.name | tr ' ' '-' | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'`
Create a short, descriptive branch name based on the changes (e.g., `fix-typo-in-readme`, `add-retry-logic`, `update-deps`).
Create and checkout the branch: `git checkout -b {username}/{short-descriptive-name}`
Commit with the message from step 3:
```
git commit -m "{commit-message}"
```
Push the branch and open a PR:
```
git push -u origin {branch-name}
gh pr create --title "{commit-message-title}" --body "{longer-description-if-needed}"
```
Report the PR URL to the user when complete.
