gh pr create --repo Cratis/$repo --head "$branch"fails withHead sha can't be blank, Base sha can't be blank, Head ref must be a branchon every repo becauseghresolves--headagainst the local checkout (Cratis/Workflows), not the target repo.Changes
Replace
gh pr createwithgh api -X POST repos/Cratis/$repo/pulls— the REST endpoint resolves the head branch in the target repo's context, no local git lookup involved. Uses plain branch name (correct for same-repo, non-fork PRs).Replace fixed
sleep 10with branch propagation polling — pollsGET /repos/Cratis/$repo/branches/$branch(same replica as the PR creation service) up to 6 × 10s before attempting PR creation. Skips PR creation with a warning if the branch isn't visible after 60s.Reduce
max_attemptsfrom 4 → 3 — smarter pre-flight check makes excessive blind retries unnecessary.💬 We'd love your input! Share your thoughts on Copilot coding agent in our 2 minute survey.
