--- name: GitHub 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.
