Add pre-flight check tools to prevent duplicate PRs from being created
for the same issue. This addresses the irony of creating duplicate PRs
for issue #1128 which was about cleaning up duplicate PRs.
Changes:
- Added scripts/check-existing-prs.sh - Bash script to check for existing PRs
- Added scripts/check_existing_prs.py - Python version of the check
- Added scripts/pr-safe.sh - User-friendly wrapper with guidance
- Added docs/duplicate-pr-prevention.md - Documentation and usage guide
These tools should be run BEFORE creating a new PR to check if there
are already open PRs for the same issue. This prevents the ironic
situation of creating duplicate PRs while trying to clean up duplicate PRs.
The tools provide:
- Clear exit codes (0: safe, 1: duplicates found, 2: error)
- Detailed information about existing PRs
- Guidance on what to do instead of creating duplicates
- Both bash and Python implementations for different preferences
Closes#1474
