# gt-pr-create(1)

Create a pull request

## NAME

gt-pr-create - Create a pull request

## SYNOPSIS

**gt pr create \[flags\]**

## DESCRIPTION

Create a pull request from the current branch, or from --head.

On a terminal without flags, gt asks for the title and body, then what to do next: submit, submit as a draft, add metadata or change the branches. Any flag of this command, such as --fill, --head or --base (but not global flags such as --repo), skips the questions: the title is then --title, else the commit message of a single-commit branch, else the branch name.

A branch that is not on the remote yet is pushed first, with its upstream set, after a confirmation; without a terminal, pass --yes to push it. A branch that does not track a branch of the same name yet goes to the fork when origin is a fork of the repository, or, when origin is not the repository itself or you cannot push to it, to the only remote of your own fork; otherwise it goes to the repository's remote. Without push access and a fork remote, gt offers on a terminal to fork the repository and adds the fork as the remote "fork", or one named after your login when "fork" points elsewhere; elsewhere, run gt repo fork --add-remote first. A missing base branch fails before the push. After a push to a fork, gt pr commands on the branch keep selecting the repository rather than the fork.

With --agit, only the author of an AGit pull request can push to it, so on a branch of someone else's, such as from gt pr checkout, pass --topic to open your own.
