After a deployment to a Git target, Gearset allows you to create a pull request (PR) in your Git repository directly from within the app.
​

From the Commit successful page you can create a PR without leaving Gearset.

By clicking the Create pull request... link you get the following options:

This becomes the title of your PR. Use something meaningful for your team.

Choose the branch you want to merge your changes into.

If your Git provider is GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, Azure DevOps Git, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Bitbucket Server, you can enter a description for your PR.

Pull request templates are a way for teams to standardize the structure and formatting of their pull requests.

You can select a pull request template from your GitHub, Azure DevOps and GitLab repositories.

You can choose to import the contents of a pull request template file from your repository into Gearset's PR creation dialog. You can do this by clicking the Add a template dropdown and selecting a template.

See the version control provider's page to find more details about pull request templates.

If your Git provider is GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, Azure DevOps or GitLab you can create a draft PR instead of a standard PR. See the version control provider's page for more details about draft pull requests.

When selected, this will prevent any 'validate pull request' child jobs (see blog for more info on this feature) from running for that particular PR.

You may want to skip them if the validations take a while to run. By selecting this setting, you don't have to wait for the validations to complete, which therefore may speed up the PR merge process.

When selected, this will list the items deployed in the PR in source control.

When selected, Gearset will create links to the Jira tickets in the PR comment.

Custom git connections are not supported.
