Authenticating

​
Creating pull requests from workspaces

Create pull request dialog from a workspace A typical flow is:
  1. make changes in a workspace
  2. review status and commit
  3. push the branch
  4. create a PR from the workspace UI
If gh is missing or unauthenticated, Reliant will surface an error and point you toward setup.

​
Default branch detection

Reliant uses gh to detect the repository’s default branch when available. If that fails, it falls back to conventional defaults such as main or master.
