Goal: Clean PRs that are easy to review and merge.
PREPARE -> Verify tests, clean commits
PUSH -> git push -u origin branch
CREATE -> gh pr create with description
RESPOND -> Address review feedback
MERGE -> gh pr merge --squash
CLEANUP -> Delete branch, pull main
# Prepare
npm test && npm run build && git status
# Push and create
git push -u origin feature/auth
gh pr create --title "Add authentication" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary

git branch -d feature/auth
# PR 1: Base
git checkout -b feature/auth-db && gh pr create --base main
# PR 2: Depends on PR 1
git checkout -b feature/auth-api && gh pr create --base feature/auth-db
# Merge bottom-up, rebase each after merge
