description GitHub workflow best practices and tool selection. Use when working with GitHub repositories, pull requests, issues, or GitHub API interactions.

GitHub

  • Prefer using the github MCP for GitHub tasks, since calling gh from a shell can introduce escaping issues in text inputs.
  • Use gh CLI commands if needed, especially when the github MCP does not support a specific action and the CLI command is straightforward.
  • Use gh api for advanced GitHub API interactions that are not natively supported by gh commands.
  • Always assume GitHub URLs may refer to private repositories and use gh or mcp__github for authentication.

Workflows

Pull Request

  • You must git push a branch before creating a pull request with gh pr create.

MCP Tools

  • search_issues: always include is:issue or is:pr in the query, depending on the desired result type.
