prpolish: AI-Powered Pull Request Helper 🚀

Supercharge your GitHub PRs with AI-generated titles, descriptions, and quality checks.
Make every PR shine ✨


💡 Why prpolish?

Writing great pull requests is hard. Most devs (including us!) struggle with:

  • Vague or low-effort PR titles and descriptions
  • Forgetting to link issues, docs, or tickets
  • Missing tests or unclear testing instructions
  • Inconsistent PR templates across teams

prpolish fixes this by using AI (OpenAI GPT) to generate high-quality, context-aware PR titles and descriptions, and to run "vibe checks" for PR quality—all from your terminal.


⚡ Quickstart

pip install prpolish
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
prpolish generate
  • Instantly get a polished PR title and description, ready to copy or edit.
  • Optionally, run vibe checks to catch low-quality commits or missing tests.
  • Use your own PR templates, or let prpolish auto-detect them.

Features

  • AI-Powered PR Title & Description Generator: Context-aware, customizable, and always editable.
  • Vibe Check Warnings: Flags low-quality commits, missing tests, and more.
  • CLI Interface: Simple, interactive, and scriptable.
  • Custom Templates: Use your own PR templates (string or file).
  • LLM-Powered, with Fallbacks: Uses OpenAI GPT for best results, with smart heuristics if no API key.
  • Failsafe Defaults: Always allows user editing and review.

🛠️ How It Works

  1. Analyzes your branch:
    Reads your commit messages, changed files, and branch name.
  2. Generates PR content:
    Uses OpenAI GPT (if available) or smart heuristics to create a professional PR title and description.
  3. Runs vibe checks:
    Optionally, flags issues like vague commits or missing tests.
  4. Lets you edit and save:
    Copy to clipboard, save drafts, or open in your editor.
  5. Creates the PR:
    Pushes your branch and opens a PR via GitHub CLI (optional).

💻 CLI Usage

# Generate PR title and description
prpolish generate [--template <str|path>] [--save, -s title|description|both] [--fast, -f]

# Generate only the PR title
prpolish generate-title [--template <str|path>] [--save, -s]

# Generate only the PR description
prpolish generate-desc [--template <str|path>] [--save, -s]
  • --save, -s: Save title, description, or both to draft files.
  • --fast, -f: Automatically create the PR and commit it.

⚙️ Requirements


📝 Custom PR Templates

Provide your own template using the --template flag (string or file path).
If a pull_request_template.md exists, prpolish will auto-detect and use it.


❓ FAQ & Troubleshooting

What if I don't have GitHub CLI (gh)?

You can still copy the PR title/description and create the PR manually.

Can I use my team's PR template?

Yes! Use --template or place a pull_request_template.md in your repo.
