Thanks for the note @Sherlock-HolmesJM — are you envision that this feature would include file editing and committing from your phone? It would be helpful for us if you could share a few more details about what kind of flow you're in where opening a pull request on mobile would be helpful. Thanks! |

Most probably the dev that implemented this feature throughout these 2 years has the latest source ready in his branch but its afk and cannot create the PR from the mobile app. |

Please let us create PRs on the iOS app. I hope this comment gets the attention of the devs. |

It has been two years since this post and it is still not implemented. I also cant have the github app installed for 2fa and open a pull request in a browser, since it automatically opens the app... |

Hi @Niteletsplay. Editing code and creating pull requests is already available on Android and iOS. If you have any feedback about the feature, let us know! |

As I mentioned in this comment, creating pull requests from existing branches is not possible, yet. But editing files, committing changes, creating a branch and opening a pull request is available. |

I’ve just been reading through the existing discussion about this. Like others, the thing that would actually be useful to me is to create a pull request from an existing branch. In my case, it would be handy so that I can check through my own changes while I’m not near my PC before getting others to review them. Sometimes I forget to put in a pull request before leaving my PC, and I’d like to do that on mobile. In terms of feedback on the existing feature: I’m unlikely to want to edit code directly on my phone without at least some kind of external keyboard, so it doesn’t seem that useful to me personally. I’ve already had thumb tendinitis once in life, and that was enough. Plus it’s slow to work that way, annoying to switch between files, and hard to see enough code at once, especially across multiple files. Conversely, the requested feature has none of those drawbacks, and would be useful out of the box. |

The workaround I have been using is by going into Incognito Mode on my mobile browser. This way, when I log into GitHub on my mobile browser, I would not be redirected into the GitHub mobile app. Although it may not be the best solution, I hope it helps anyone! |

In my professional opinion, I believe the ability to create pull requests from existing branches is a highly valuable and more critical feature which will require significantly less effort to implement than creating and committing new files; and hence should be prioritised. |

I don't think anyone wants to edit code on his phone he rather wants to create a pull request for code he already pushed and tested on his PC. |

Any progress on this? The only reason I open GitHub when out of my PC is to review PRs and create new ones from existing branches. |

So I kinda got tired of waiting for this feature so I make minor changes in the app and then raise a PR from my mobile browser .. seems unnecessarily complicated tho |

Hi @SreevarshPV, thanks for your feedback! Creating pull requets from the GitHub Mobile app is possible after you edit a file and commit your changes. Are you expecting a different behavior? |

I think most are looking for the ability to create a PR from an already existing branch that has existing committed changes without requiring someone to edit a file from the app. For example, you committed changes to a new branch on your computer and left the office, but forgot to submit a PR. I would like to able to open the app, view a branch, and simply submit a PR. If we look at this comment from @brianlovin, I think most are looking for 1, not 2 (which the latter seems to have already been implemented). |

@aconsuegra I think it is very clear from the comments that people are looking for the opportunity to create PRs from existing branches without editing anything. I don't see why this should be such a difficult feature to implement, as creating PRs from edited files is obviously already a thing. That being said, I think most would never even want to edit a file in the app, let alone create a PR for it. On the other hand, leaving the office and reviewing your own code on your way home and then creating a PR if it looks good is probably a scenario many are familiar with. Please implement this. |

You might be thinking “Why do you want to create PRs on the mobile phone” and decide not to prioritize developing this feature. But hear me out. Sometimes I commit changes but forget to create a PR and then I shut down my computer. Currently, I have to restart my computer and wait for it to boot just to create a PR and shut it down again. So it would be extremely convenient if we have the ability to create PRs on the mobile app in scenarios like that. So please consider developing this feature. Thanks for developing this awesome app. This truly is one of the best iOS apps ever. |

This is such a simple feature to have event doesn't need any special UX or any complicated service, why is this feature not present yet |

Ask the copilot how to create a PR from the mobile app. It will give you detailed incorrect instructions. Perfect example of precise but not accurate. :) |

Thank you for the workaround! It does the trick, I was getting crazy since I followed copilot made up instructions |
