Common Patterns

Issue-to-PR Workflow

# 1. Create issue
gh issue create --title "Feature: X" --label "enhancement"
# Returns issue #123

# 2. Create branch and work
git checkout -b feat/issue-123-x

# 3. Create PR linking to issue
gh pr create --title "Feature: X" --body "Closes #123"

Code Review Flow

# Check out PR locally
gh pr checkout 456

# Run tests, review code...

# Approve or request changes
gh pr review 456 --approve --body "LGTM!"

CI Failure Investigation

# List failed runs
gh run list --status failure

# Get logs
gh run view RUN_ID --log-failed

# Rerun after fix
gh run rerun RUN_ID

Re-enabling GitHub MCP Server

If you need the full GitHub MCP server for advanced operations (e.g., complex GraphQL queries, bulk operations), you can ask:

"Please use the GitHub MCP server" or "Re-enable GitHub MCP"

To re-enable manually:

1. Edit ~/.copilot/github-copilot/mcp.json
2. Remove or set "disabled": false for github-mcp-server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github-mcp-server": {
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

1. Restart the Copilot CLI session

When to use MCP vs gh CLI:

Troubleshooting

# Check auth
gh auth status

# Refresh token
gh auth refresh

# Clear cache
gh cache delete --all

# Debug mode
GH_DEBUG=api gh issue list
