Chain-link

Github gh cli extension to help link chained PRs together.

Installation

To install simply run

gh extension install roryq/gh-chainlink

And to update

gh extension upgrade roryq/gh-chainlink

Usage

Example workflow

The expected workflow is to have a parent issue that has a list or links to related PRs (or issues). The list can be numbered, bulleted or a checklist. The body of each list should be a link to a github issue, or a shorthand issue reference for issues in the same repo.

e.g. Pull Request #100 has an issue description like

# Description
Here is my first PR for the issue.

## PR Chain
<!--chainlink-->
1. #100
2. #101
3. #102

The related PRs #101 and #102 only have a description but no links to the previous chained PRs.

# Description
Here is my second PR for the issue.

# Description
Here is my third PR for the issue.

Run the command

Running the following command from the context of your repo will synchronise the PR chain across each of the linked PRs

gh chainlink 100

Alternatively you can provide a full url

gh chainlink "github.com/roryq/gh-chainlink/pull/100"

See the results

The PRs will be updated like so

# Description
Here is my first PR for the issue.

## PR Chain
<!--chainlink-->
1. #100 ← you are here
2. #101
3. #102

# Description
Here is my second PR for the issue.

## PR Chain
<!--chainlink-->
1. #100
2. #101 ← you are here
3. #102

# Description
Here is my third PR for the issue.

## PR Chain
<!--chainlink-->
1. #100 
2. #101
3. #102 ← you are here

If at any point you add another PR. You can update one of the issues and run the command again to propagate the changes.
