Draft Pull Requests

Create a draft PR

Copygh api --method POST repos/:owner/:repo/pulls -f title="My new feature" -f body="Description of changes" -f head="feature-branch" -f base="main" -F draft=true

For cross-repo PRs, use head="username:branch".

Get PR details (check if draft)

Copygh api repos/:owner/:repo/pulls/<number>

Response includes "draft": true|false and "state": "open|closed".

Check if PR is draft (minimal output)

Copygh api repos/:owner/:repo/pulls/<number> --jq '{draft, state, title}'

Convert draft to ready for review

Copygh api --method PATCH repos/:owner/:repo/pulls/<number> -F draft=false

Note: Cannot convert back to draft via API once marked ready.

List open draft PRs

Copygh api repos/:owner/:repo/pulls --jq '.[] | select(.draft) | {number, title}'

List my open PRs in a repo

Copygh api repos/:owner/:repo/pulls -f state=open --jq '.[] | select(.user.login=="USERNAME") | {number, title, draft}'

PR Conversation Comments

Comments on the PR timeline (not on specific lines of code). For inline review comments, use the gh-pr-review skill instead.

List conversation comments

Copygh api repos/:owner/:repo/issues/<number>/comments

Create a conversation comment

Copygh api --method POST repos/:owner/:repo/issues/<number>/comments -f body="Comment text"

Discussions (GraphQL)

List discussions:

Copygh api graphql -f query='query($owner:String!,$repo:String!) { repository(owner:$owner,name:$repo) { discussions(first:10) { nodes { number title url } } } }' -F owner=OWNER -F repo=REPO

View discussion:

Copygh api graphql -f query='query($owner:String!,$repo:String!,$number:Int!) { repository(owner:$owner,name:$repo) { discussion(number:$number) { title body comments(first:10) { nodes { body author { login } } } } } }' -F owner=OWNER -F repo=REPO -F number=NUM

Search discussions:

Copygh api graphql -f query='query($q:String!) { search(query:$q,type:DISCUSSION,first:10) { nodes { ...on Discussion { number title url } } } }' -f q="repo:OWNER/REPO QUERY"
