gh-pr-merge:tldr:12597
The command gh pr merge --${select}
is used in the context of the GitHub CLI (Command Line Interface) to merge a pull request (PR) on GitHub.
Here's a breakdown of each component of the command:
-
gh
: This is the command itself, indicating that you are using the GitHub CLI. -
pr merge
: This specifies the action you want to perform, which is to merge a pull request. -
--${select}
: This portion of the command represents an option for thepr merge
action. The${select}
is a placeholder, indicating that you need to replace it with an actual value. The value you provide here determines which pull request(s) to merge.
For example, if you want to merge a specific pull request with a known number, you would replace ${select}
with the number of the PR.
So, if you have a pull request with the number 42, the command would become:
gh pr merge -- 42
This would merge the pull request with the number 42.
Note: The '--' before the PR number separates the options from the following arguments. It is required to ensure that the value you provide after the '--' is interpreted correctly as the pull request number.
