`gh pr merge` Merge a pull request

Merges a pull request on GitHub using the method you choose: a merge commit, a squash, or a rebase. It can also delete the branch afterwards.

Synopsis

gh pr merge [NUMBER | URL | BRANCH] [FLAGS]

Option or form	What it does
`-m, --merge`	Create a merge commit
`-s, --squash`	Squash all commits into one
`-r, --rebase`	Rebase the commits onto the base branch
`-d, --delete-branch`	Delete the branch after merging
`--auto`	Merge automatically once required checks pass
`--admin`	Merge even if requirements are not met (needs permission)

Merge interactively

gh pr merge 42

Squash and tidy up

gh pr merge 42 --squash --delete-branch

Merge when checks pass

gh pr merge 42 --auto --squash

Merge the pull request for this branch

gh pr merge --merge

A repository may allow only some of the methods. Merging is final, so check gh pr checks first.
Merging does not update your local main. Run git switch main and git pull afterwards.
Use gh pr review --approve to approve before merging.
