Pull requests and issues

The Git window also shows the GitHub pull requests and issues of the current repository, so you can go from an issue to a running agent — or from a review comment to a fix — without opening the browser.

Written for PATerminal v1.8.3

Set up the GitHub CLI

Pull requests and issues use your own GitHub CLI. Install gh and sign in once:

gh auth login

PATerminal never asks for or stores a GitHub token. If issues don't load, it tells you to check that gh is installed and signed in.

Pull requests

  • The PR list shows each pull request with its state (Open, Draft, Merged, Closed).
  • Open one to see its Conversation — description, reviews (Approved, Changes requested), and line comments — and its Files with full diffs.
  • Copy on a comment copies the file location and comment, ready to paste into an agent.
  • New session creates a shell session for the PR; for a separate checkout, create a worktree from the PR.
  • Open on GitHub opens it in your browser.

Issues

  • Browse open and closed issues with their labels, assignees, and comments.
  • New session on an issue starts a session to work on it. Tick Create a worktree from a selected branch to give it its own worktree and branch first.
  • Link an existing branch to this issue creates a GitHub linked branch and pushes only that local branch (Link & push).

Create an issue

  1. In the issue list, press Create.
  2. Enter a Title and Body.
  3. Optionally Add files — screenshots, logs, and so on.
  4. Press Create.
Note

Attachments are uploaded to a PATerminal-managed GitHub Release in the repository and linked from the issue body, because the GitHub CLI can't attach files to issues directly.
