Update on September 22, 2022

Since v2.16.0, GitHub CLI officially supports making a pull request draft.

gh pr ready 123 --undo

While the command syntax is different, it would be better using the builtin function, so I archive this repository.

gh pr-draft GitHub CLI extension

Converts a pull request to draft.

Installation

gh extension install kyanny/gh-pr-draft

Usage

With a pull request number:

gh pr-draft 1234

Without a pull request number:

gh pr checkout 1234
gh pr-draft

To convert your pull request ready for review, you can use gh pr ready.

Motivation

There is was a feature request for the GitHub CLI but I can't couldn't wait it so that I created this script as a GitHub CLI extension.
