3.2 KiB

Create a clean branch for pull requests by filtering out .planning/ commits. The PR branch contains only code changes - reviewers don't see GSD artifacts (PLAN.md, SUMMARY.md, STATE.md, CONTEXT.md, etc.).

Uses git cherry-pick with path filtering to rebuild a clean history.

Parse `$ARGUMENTS` for target branch (default: `main`).
CURRENT_BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
TARGET=${1:-main}

Check preconditions:

  • Must be on a feature branch (not main/master)
  • Must have commits ahead of target
AHEAD=$(git rev-list --count "$TARGET".."$CURRENT_BRANCH" 2>/dev/null)
if [ "$AHEAD" = "0" ]; then
  echo "No commits ahead of $TARGET - nothing to filter."
  exit 0
fi

Branch: {CURRENT_BRANCH}
Target: {TARGET}
Commits: {AHEAD} ahead
Classify commits:
# Get all commits ahead of target
git log --oneline "$TARGET".."$CURRENT_BRANCH" --no-merges

For each commit, check if it ONLY touches .planning/ files:

# For each commit hash
FILES=$(git diff-tree --no-commit-id --name-only -r $HASH)
ALL_PLANNING=$(echo "$FILES" | grep -v "^\.planning/" | wc -l)

Classify:

  • Code commits: Touch at least one non-.planning/ file → INCLUDE
  • Planning-only commits: Touch only .planning/ files → EXCLUDE
  • Mixed commits: Touch both → INCLUDE (planning changes come along)

Display analysis:

Commits to include: {N} (code changes)
Commits to exclude: {N} (planning-only)
Mixed commits: {N} (code + planning - included)
```bash PR_BRANCH="${CURRENT_BRANCH}-pr"

Create PR branch from target

git checkout -b "$PR_BRANCH" "$TARGET"


Cherry-pick only code commits (in order):

```bash
for HASH in $CODE_COMMITS; do
  git cherry-pick "$HASH" --no-commit
  # Remove any .planning/ files that came along in mixed commits
  git rm -r --cached .planning/ 2>/dev/null || true
  git commit -C "$HASH"
done

Return to original branch:

git checkout "$CURRENT_BRANCH"
```bash # Verify no .planning/ files in PR branch PLANNING_FILES=$(git diff --name-only "$TARGET".."$PR_BRANCH" | grep "^\.planning/" | wc -l) TOTAL_FILES=$(git diff --name-only "$TARGET".."$PR_BRANCH" | wc -l) PR_COMMITS=$(git rev-list --count "$TARGET".."$PR_BRANCH") ```

Display results:

✅ PR branch created: {PR_BRANCH}

Original: {AHEAD} commits, {ORIGINAL_FILES} files
PR branch: {PR_COMMITS} commits, {TOTAL_FILES} files
Planning files: {PLANNING_FILES} (should be 0)

Next steps:
  git push origin {PR_BRANCH}
  gh pr create --base {TARGET} --head {PR_BRANCH}

Or use /gsd-ship to create the PR automatically.
