GitHub PR Merge

When to use

The user asks to merge an approved PR.
You need to enable auto-merge.

Inputs to confirm

PR number/URL/branch (or use current branch PR).
Merge strategy: --merge, --squash, or --rebase.
Whether to delete the branch, use auto-merge, or use admin override.

Workflow

Verify auth and PR status:

gh --version
gh auth status
gh pr view 123

Merge:

gh pr merge 123 --squash
gh pr merge 123 --merge --delete-branch

Enable auto-merge if required checks are pending:
```
gh pr merge 123 --auto --squash
```

Examples

# Squash merge and delete branch
~ gh pr merge 123 --squash --delete-branch

Notes

If a merge queue is required, gh pr merge will use it automatically.
Use --admin only when you have permission to bypass requirements.
