Create PR Linked to Issue

Create a pull request with automatic issue linking.

When to Use

gh pr create --issue <issue-number>

# With custom title and body
gh pr create --title "Title" --body "Closes #<issue-number>"

# Verify link appears
gh issue view <issue-number>  # Check Development section

Workflow

1. Verify changes committed: git status shows clean
2. Push branch: git push -u origin branch-name

5. Monitor CI: Watch checks with gh pr checks
