Opening a Pull Request from within Zepel

Before you begin: Ensure that you’ve enabled the integration for Github, Bitbucket, or GitLab.

If an item in Zepel is linked to a branch, you can quickly open a pull request and view the number of lines changed from within Zepel.

To open a pull request for the item linked to a branch,

Open the single item pop-up for the item that has been linked to a branch.
In the single item pop-up, under the heading “Linked Branches and Pull Requests”, you should be able to see the branch name linked to this item.

By clicking the “Open PR” button next to the branch name, you will be directed to your version control system you use with the pull request form pre-filled with the item title.

The pull request’s status will also automatically get updated between Open, Closed, and Merged based on your activity.

NOTE: If a branch is deleted after the pull request is created, both the branch and the pull request will be greyed out.
