gh-pr-merge: Merge the pull request associated with the current branch interactively.

$ gh pr merge

try on your machine

The command "gh pr merge" is used to merge a pull request using the GitHub CLI (Command Line Interface).

A pull request is a way for a developer to propose changes to a codebase hosted on GitHub. When a developer is ready to merge their changes into the main branch, they create a pull request.

The "gh pr merge" command is used to perform the merge operation directly from the command line, without needing to open the pull request page on GitHub. This can be convenient for automating the merging process or incorporating it into scripts.

By executing "gh pr merge", the command will identify the specified pull request and attempt to execute the merge operation. The merge operation combines the changes made in the pull request branch with the target branch, typically the main branch. Once the merge is successful, the changes from the pull request are incorporated into the target branch.
