Automate the approval of a bunch of GitHub pull requests

README.md

Sometimes in the course of your job you might need to approve a bunch of pull requests that were automatically created.

The gh cli is a handy tool to simplify this process.

In this example we'll approve all pull requests in the Foo org that request you as a reviewer and contains autoscaling:

for PR_URL in $(gh search prs org:Foo --review-requested @me --state open autoscaling --json url --jq ".[].url"); do
    echo $PR_URL
    gh pr review --approve $PR_URL
done
