Running Pull Requests in Github Codespaces - These Yaks Ain’t Gonna Shave Themselves

Here’s the idea. I have a solo project that I’m working on, and instead of hacking away on the main branch, I’m using a full feature branch and pull request workflow to keep my changes organized. This might seem like overkill, but it’s helpful for me because I tend to bounce around and leave things half done. I can run things locally and test different things by switching between branches. But I’m also doing a lot more AI-assisted development. Locally I use Claude Code. But I’ve been experimenting with allowing Github Copilot to create PRs. I create a github issue, assign it to copilot, and it spins up in the cloud and does work. Afterwards it opens a pull request for me to review. So even though this is a “solo” project, I end up with pull requests that I didn’t write myself and I need to validate.
