“Fixed stuff” is not a pull request description reviewers can act on. This tool parses your actual diff and builds a structured Markdown skeleton — file list, change stats, and a review checklist — so you start from something useful instead of a blank box.
What Is the PR Description Generator?
PR Description Generator is one of the tools in WebdevToolbox’s DevOps Tools category. Paste the output of git diff, add an optional title, and get a Markdown PR description with a summary, file-by-file change list, and a checklist section ready to fill in.
How to Use It
- Open the tool at /tools/pr-description-generator.
- Run
git diff(orgit diff main...feature-branch) locally and paste the output. - Optionally add a PR title.
- Copy the generated Markdown and fill in the “Why” and “How to test” sections before pasting it into your PR.
Key Features
- Per-file change stats — shows added/removed line counts for every file in the diff.
- New/deleted/renamed file detection — reads git’s own diff markers to tag file status.
- Heuristic summary line — flags whether the diff touches tests, docs, or looks like new functionality.
- Runs entirely client-side — your diff (and any code it contains) never leaves your browser.
When to Use the PR Description Generator
- Speeding up PR creation — skip re-typing the same file-list boilerplate every time.
- Improving review quality — a structured checklist nudges you to mention tests and docs.
- Standardizing PR format across a team — everyone starts from the same skeleton.
