Pull Request via Github API
From the example in https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/pulls#create-a-pull-request, it seems quite easy:
1curl \
2 -X POST \
3 -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
4 https://api.github.com/repos/octocat/hello-world/pulls \
5 -d '{"title":"title","head":"head","base":"base"}'
The above means, create a pull request with title "title" with code in branch "head" against the branch in "base" for the repo https://github.com/octocat/hello-world.git
In case you need to authenticate, add
1-u <user>:<GITHUB_TOKEN>
before the -H
1curl \
2 -X POST \
3 -u your_user:DEFINED_GITHUB_TOKEN_HERE
4 -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
5 https://api.github.com/repos/octocat/hello-world/pulls \
6 -d '{"title":"title","head":"head","base":"base"}'
You can also use a payload json file for this value:
1-d '{"title":"title","head":"head","base":"base"}'
and write it as:
1-d @payload.json
