Add a remote for a given PR's head repository and checkout a local pr-xxx-work branch. Use when the user wants to work on someone else's PR locally.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Checkout PR Workflow Add a remote for a PR's head repository (if not already added) and checkout a local working branch. ## Input Accept PR number (`123`, `#123`). Required. ## Setup 1. [Setup](../../lib/github/setup.md) — authenticate and detect context (role, remotes, state) ## Step 1: Fetch PR Metadata ```bash PR_DATA=$(gh pr view $PR_NUMBER --repo "$PR_REPO_OWNER/$PR_REPO_NAME" --json \ number,title,headRefName,headRepository,headRepositoryOwner,\ baseRefName,state,maintainerCanModify,author) HEAD_BRANCH=$(echo "$PR_DATA" | jq -r '.headRefName') HEAD_REPO_OWNER=$(echo "$PR_DATA" | jq -r '.headRepositoryOwner.login') HEAD_REPO_NAME=$(echo "$PR_DATA" | jq -r '.headRepository.name') PR_AUTHOR=$(echo "$PR_DATA" | jq -r '.author.login') MAINTAINER_CAN_MODIFY=$(echo "$PR_DATA" | jq -r '.maintainerCanModify') PR_STATE=$(echo "$PR_DATA" | jq -r '.state') ``` Validate PR state: OPEN (continue), CLOSED (warn user), MERGED (exit). ## Step 2: Add Remote (if needed) If the PR head is on the canonical repo (`$HEAD_REPO_OWNER == $UPSTREAM_OWNER`), use the existing `upstream` remote. Otherwise, use the PR author's username as the remote name. ```bash …

How to install
mdr add hw-native-sys/simpler/checkout-pr@sha256:ffe284d7ad85d760The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260413.9d5a7d0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
