Pull requests can be a bit cumbersome: once created, they remain and clutter the GitHub metadata indefinitely. It would be more convenient to alternatively specify a target branch to which Codex should push the results — even without confirmation.
On the client side, we can then simply poll the branch at regular intervals using, for example, git ls-remote --heads origin refs/heads/codex-ca0e73be.
Bonus: allow specifying this branch as a URL query parameter when invoking Codex, for example:
https://chatgpt.com/codex?targetBranch=codex-ca0e73be
With a combination of these features, we can streamline the overall workflow, allowing our local Git clients to:
- initiate the job
- poll for and pick up Codex results
- review them
- have Codex refine them
- or finally merge the results.
Codex rocks!
