Pulls

The Pulls API allows you to list, view, edit, create, and even merge pull requests.

The Pull Request API allows you to list, view, edit, create, and even merge pull requests. Comments on pull requests can be managed via the Issue Comments API.

Every pull request is an issue, but not every issue is a pull request. For this reason, "shared" actions for both features, like manipulating assignees, labels and milestones, are provided within the Issues API.

Custom media types for pull requests

These are the supported media types for pull requests.

application/vnd.github.VERSION.raw+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.text+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.html+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.full+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.diff
application/vnd.github.VERSION.patch

For more information, see "Custom media types."

If a diff is corrupt, contact your site administrator. Include the repository name and pull request ID in your message.

`self`	The API location of this Pull Request.

Notes

Works with GitHub Apps

Create a pull request

To open or update a pull request in a public repository, you must have write access to the head or the source branch. For organization-owned repositories, you must be a member of the organization that owns the repository to open or update a pull request.

You can create a new pull request.

This endpoint triggers notifications. Creating content too quickly using this endpoint may result in secondary rate limiting. See "Secondary rate limits" and "Dealing with secondary rate limits" for details.

post /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls

Parameters

Name	Type	In	Description
`accept`	string	header	Setting to `application/vnd.github.v3+json` is recommended.
`owner`	string	path
`repo`	string	path
`title`	string	body	The title of the new pull request.
`head`	string	body	Required. The name of the branch where your changes are implemented. For cross-repository pull requests in the same network, namespace `head` with a user like this: `username:branch`.
`base`	string	body	Required. The name of the branch you want the changes pulled into. This should be an existing branch on the current repository. You cannot submit a pull request to one repository that requests a merge to a base of another repository.
`body`	string	body	The contents of the pull request.
`maintainer_can_modify`	boolean	body	Indicates whether maintainers can modify the pull request.
`draft`	boolean	body	Indicates whether the pull request is a draft. See "Draft Pull Requests" in the GitHub Help documentation to learn more.
`issue`	integer	body

Notes

Works with GitHub Apps

Get a pull request

Lists details of a pull request by providing its number.

When you get, create, or edit a pull request, GitHub Enterprise Server creates a merge commit to test whether the pull request can be automatically merged into the base branch. This test commit is not added to the base branch or the head branch. You can review the status of the test commit using the mergeable key. For more information, see "Checking mergeability of pull requests".

The value of the mergeable attribute can be true, false, or null. If the value is null, then GitHub Enterprise Server has started a background job to compute the mergeability. After giving the job time to complete, resubmit the request. When the job finishes, you will see a non-null value for the mergeable attribute in the response. If mergeable is true, then merge_commit_sha will be the SHA of the test merge commit.

The value of the merge_commit_sha attribute changes depending on the state of the pull request. Before merging a pull request, the merge_commit_sha attribute holds the SHA of the test merge commit. After merging a pull request, the merge_commit_sha attribute changes depending on how you merged the pull request:

If merged as a merge commit, merge_commit_sha represents the SHA of the merge commit.
If merged via a squash, merge_commit_sha represents the SHA of the squashed commit on the base branch.
If rebased, merge_commit_sha represents the commit that the base branch was updated to.

Notes

Create a review for a pull request

Pull request reviews created in the PENDING state do not include the submitted_at property in the response.

Note: To comment on a specific line in a file, you need to first determine the position of that line in the diff. The GitHub REST API v3 offers the application/vnd.github.v3.diff media type. To see a pull request diff, add this media type to the Accept header of a call to the single pull request endpoint.

The position value equals the number of lines down from the first "@@" hunk header in the file you want to add a comment. The line just below the "@@" line is position 1, the next line is position 2, and so on. The position in the diff continues to increase through lines of whitespace and additional hunks until the beginning of a new file.

post /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pull_number}/reviews

Parameters

Name Type In Description

accept

string

header

Setting to application/vnd.github.v3+json is recommended.

owner string path

repo string path

pull_number integer path

commit_id

string

body

The SHA of the commit that needs a review. Not using the latest commit SHA may render your review comment outdated if a subsequent commit modifies the line you specify as the position. Defaults to the most recent commit in the pull request when you do not specify a value.

body

string

body

Required when using REQUEST_CHANGES or COMMENT for the event parameter. The body text of the pull request review.

event

string

body

The review action you want to perform. The review actions include: APPROVE, REQUEST_CHANGES, or COMMENT. By leaving this blank, you set the review action state to PENDING, which means you will need to submit the pull request review when you are ready.

comments

array of objects

body

Use the following table to specify the location, destination, and contents of the draft review comment.

Properties of the comments items

`path` (string)	Required. The relative path to the file that necessitates a review comment.
`position` (integer)	The position in the diff where you want to add a review comment. Note this value is not the same as the line number in the file. For help finding the position value, read the note below.
`body` (string)	Required. Text of the review comment.
`line` (integer)
`side` (string)
`start_line` (integer)
`start_side` (string)

Custom media types for pull request review comments

These are the supported media types for pull request review comments.

application/vnd.github.VERSION.raw+json

Preview notice

Multi-line comments in a pull request diff is currently available for developers to preview. During the preview period, these response fields may change without advance notice. See the blog post for more information.

To create multi-line comments or see multi-line comments with the new supported fields during the preview period, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.comfort-fade-preview+json

To show multi-line comment-supported fields in the response, use the comfort-fade preview header and the line parameter.

If you use the comfort-fade preview header, your response will show:

For multi-line comments, values for start_line, original_start_line, start_side, line, original_line, and side.
For single-line comments, values for line, original_line, and side and a null value for start_line, original_start_line, and start_side.

If you don't use the comfort-fade preview header, multi-line and single-line comments will appear the same way in the response with a single position attribute. Your response will show:

For multi-line comments, the last line of the comment range for the position attribute.
For single-line comments, the diff-positioned way of referencing comments for the position attribute.

Notes

Preview notice

To access the API you must provide a custom media type in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.squirrel-girl-preview

The reactions key will have the following payload where url can be used to construct the API location for listing and creating reactions.

Create a review comment for a pull request

Creates a review comment in the pull request diff. To add a regular comment to a pull request timeline, see "Create an issue comment." We recommend creating a review comment using line, side, and optionally start_line and start_side if your comment applies to more than one line in the pull request diff.

You can still create a review comment using the position parameter. When you use position, the line, side, start_line, and start_side parameters are not required. For more information, see the comfort-fade preview notice.

Note: The position value equals the number of lines down from the first "@@" hunk header in the file you want to add a comment. The line just below the "@@" line is position 1, the next line is position 2, and so on. The position in the diff continues to increase through lines of whitespace and additional hunks until the beginning of a new file.

post /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pull_number}/comments

Parameters

Name	Type	In	Description
`accept`	string	header	Setting to `application/vnd.github.v3+json` is recommended.See preview notice
`owner`	string	path
`repo`	string	path
`pull_number`	integer	path
`body`	string	body	Required. The text of the review comment.
`commit_id`	string	body	The SHA of the commit needing a comment. Not using the latest commit SHA may render your comment outdated if a subsequent commit modifies the line you specify as the `position`.
`path`	string	body	The relative path to the file that necessitates a comment.
`position`	integer	body	Required without `comfort-fade` preview. The position in the diff where you want to add a review comment. Note this value is not the same as the line number in the file. For help finding the position value, read the note above.
`side`	string	body	Required with `comfort-fade` preview. In a split diff view, the side of the diff that the pull request's changes appear on. Can be `LEFT` or `RIGHT`. Use `LEFT` for deletions that appear in red. Use `RIGHT` for additions that appear in green or unchanged lines that appear in white and are shown for context. For a multi-line comment, side represents whether the last line of the comment range is a deletion or addition. For more information, see "Diff view options" in the GitHub Help documentation.
`line`	integer	body	Required with `comfort-fade` preview. The line of the blob in the pull request diff that the comment applies to. For a multi-line comment, the last line of the range that your comment applies to.
`start_line`	integer	body	Required when using multi-line comments. To create multi-line comments, you must use the `comfort-fade` preview header. The `start_line` is the first line in the pull request diff that your multi-line comment applies to. To learn more about multi-line comments, see "Commenting on a pull request" in the GitHub Help documentation.
`start_side`	string	body	Required when using multi-line comments. To create multi-line comments, you must use the `comfort-fade` preview header. The `start_side` is the starting side of the diff that the comment applies to. Can be `LEFT` or `RIGHT`. To learn more about multi-line comments, see "Commenting on a pull request" in the GitHub Help documentation. See `side` in this table for additional context.
`in_reply_to`	integer	body

Preview notice

To create multi-line comments or see multi-line comments with the new supported fields during the preview period, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.comfort-fade-preview+json

To show multi-line comment-supported fields in the response, use the comfort-fade preview header and the line parameter.

If you use the comfort-fade preview header, your response will show:

For multi-line comments, values for start_line, original_start_line, start_side, line, original_line, and side.
For single-line comments, values for line, original_line, and side and a null value for start_line, original_start_line, and start_side.

If you don't use the comfort-fade preview header, multi-line and single-line comments will appear the same way in the response with a single position attribute. Your response will show:

For multi-line comments, the last line of the comment range for the position attribute.
For single-line comments, the diff-positioned way of referencing comments for the position attribute.

Create a reply for a review comment

Creates a reply to a review comment for a pull request. For the comment_id, provide the ID of the review comment you are replying to. This must be the ID of a top-level review comment, not a reply to that comment. Replies to replies are not supported.
