Usage Guide

This guide demonstrates how to use Git PR AI Tool in your daily development workflow with practical examples and best practices.

Full Workflow

The typical workflow with Git PR AI Tool follows these steps:

1. Plan the issue with AI
2. Take the issue and implement with AI
3. Create a branch based on JIRA ticket or task description
4. Make your changes and commit them
5. Create a Pull Request with automatic JIRA integration
6. Update PR description with AI assistance
7. Get AI code review for quality assurance

Step-by-Step Examples

Example 1: JIRA Ticket Workflow

Starting with a JIRA ticket PROJ-123: Implement user authentication:

# 1. Create branch from JIRA ticket
git create-branch --jira PROJ-123
# AI generates: feat/PROJ-123-implement-user-auth

# 2. Make your changes
# ... implement authentication features ...
git add .
git commit -m "Add user authentication with JWT"

# 3. Create Pull Request
git open-pr
# Creates PR with title: "[PROJ-123] Implement user authentication"

# 4. Update description with AI (optional)
git update-pr-desc "Focus on security best practices and JWT implementation"

# 5. Get AI review (optional)
git pr-review

Example 2: Git Diff Workflow

When you have uncommitted changes and want to create a branch:

# 1. Make some changes first
# ... modify files ...

# 2. Create branch based on your changes
git create-branch --git-diff
# AI analyzes your changes and suggests: fix/update-user-validation

# 3. Commit your changes
git add .
git commit -m "Update user validation logic"

# 4. Create Pull Request
git open-pr
# Creates PR with title based on branch name

Example 3: Custom Prompt Workflow

When working on a task without a JIRA ticket:

# 1. Create branch from description
git create-branch --prompt "Add dark mode support to the application"
# AI generates: feat/add-dark-mode-support

# 2. Implement the feature
# ... add dark mode functionality ...
git add .
git commit -m "Add dark mode toggle and theme switching"

# 3. Create Pull Request
git open-pr
# Creates PR with title: "Add dark mode support"

# 4. Enhance with AI description
git update-pr-desc

Example 4: Branch Renaming Workflow

When you want to rename your current branch:

# Rename based on JIRA ticket
git create-branch --jira PROJ-456 -m
# Renames to: feat/PROJ-456-optimize-database-queries

# Or rename based on changes
git create-branch --git-diff -m
# Analyzes changes and renames accordingly

Example 5: Plan Issue Workflow

When you want to plan and take on a GitHub/GitLab issue systematically:

# 1. Plan the issue implementation
git plan-issue --issue 42
# AI analyzes the issue and creates a detailed implementation plan

# 2. Take the issue and create a branch
git take-issue --issue 42

# 3. AI generates appropriate branch name: feat/issue-42-implement-user-dashboard
git create-branch --git-diff

# 4. Implement following the plan
# ... implement the feature according to the plan ...
git add .
git commit -m "Implement user dashboard with filtering and sorting"

# 5. Create Pull Request
git open-pr
# Creates PR with title: "Implement user dashboard (#42)"

# 6. Update description with AI
git update-pr-desc
# AI generates comprehensive PR description based on the original issue and implementation

# 7. Get AI review
git pr-review
# AI reviews the code against the original issue requirements
