Repository navigation
Add gh pr share command #14618
Description
Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve
Sharing pull requests to colleagues/teams/foo/bar currently involves navigating manually to github, copy-pasting the url and sharing. The URL has no context or useful information as it stands.
My org, and I, have custom scripts to take the PR and create a more useful markdown message including:
- PR title
- PR line count diff
- Repo
I think gh cli would benefit from enabling this as a pr command.
Proposed solution
gh pr share [pr number] [--format=[url|markdown]]
A new PR command to share either a url, or markdown message for the given PR to either STDOUT or copy to clipboard.
Additionally, support for user to create a template to personalise markdown message (perhaps adding emojis and the likes in contents that might be slack-workspace specific...)
Additional context

Hey @edjeffreys, thanks for the request and the PR for evidence. Often when we get a request like this, that is mostly targeted for a user or org's workflow we suggest creating an extension and seeing whether it gets any kind of traction.
Do you find you would use the
pr_share_templateoption yourselves? Trying to imagine when your org would want the default to differ. Cheers.williammartin commentedon Oct 7, 2026
I know you have your own scripts but FWIW if anyone else comes across this, a simplified form can be achieved with:

Yeah that was the thinking - mainly for org to chuck a template on dev machines.
I hadn't even considered that; will give that a whirl :)

At least while its in your org and you already have your own desired template, and you just want a way to centrally manage that, you could do something like:
➜ gh extension install williammartin/gh-share-pr ✓ Installed extension williammartin/gh-share-pr ➜ gh share-pr https://github.com/cli/go-gh/pull/274 // this also copies to clipboard [fix: refresh repository identity after SSH translation](https://github.com/cli/go-gh/pull/274) in cli/go-gh (+84/-8)You can find and just take the code at https://github.com/williammartin/gh-share-pr, it's 100% vibe coded, just wanted to share another ground between an alias and a core command.
