Creating cross-repo Pull Request

[parteekcoder]

I have 2 repositories

repo1 = Organization/project
repo2 = user/project  (it is forked of repo1)

Can I create a Pull Request from repo2 to repo1 using a Fine-Grained token with the required access of repo2 using PyGithub, If yes can you please help me to do that

[parteekcoder]

Here is what I am doing:

g = Github("token")  # (token of repo2)
repo1 = g.get_repo("organization/project")
repo2 = g.get_repo("user/project")
repo1.create_pull(title="PR_TITLE", body="PR_BODY", base="main",head="user/project:main")

I am getting this error

github.GithubException.GithubException: 403 {"message": "Resource not accessible by personal access token", "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/pulls#create-a-pull-request"}

Have you tried

repo1.create_pull(title="PR_TITLE", body="PR_BODY", base="main",head="user:main")

Maybe it is a permission issue. Not sure which fine grained permissions are needed to create a pull request on a public repo.

[parteekcoder]

Yeah Thanks @EnricoMi , i figured out another way to do that.

[EnricoMi]

Would you like to share your findings?

[parteekcoder]

yeah , I used github cli

gh pr create --repo "project" --base "user:main" --head "main"

Make sure before running this command you have access to create PR to upstream repo

From looking at the Github REST API docs, this should also work with PyGithub.
