Enhancement Request: Enable Description Generation for Existing Pull Requests #5548

Description

@amantiwari1

Issue:

Currently, the GitHub support for auto-generating descriptions is available only during the creation of a new pull request. Unfortunately, this feature is not extended to existing pull requests. It would be highly beneficial to incorporate this functionality for pre-existing pull requests as well.

Proposal:

To enhance the user experience and streamline the contribution process, we suggest implementing a feature that allows users to generate descriptions for already existing pull requests. This addition would not only save time but also ensure consistency in documentation across all stages of the pull request lifecycle.

Benefits:

Consistency:

Provides a uniform approach to documentation for both new and existing pull requests.
Time-Saving:

Saves contributors time by eliminating the need to manually create or update pull request descriptions.
Improved Workflow:

Enhances the overall workflow by simplifying the documentation process and reducing potential errors.
Implementation:

Consider adding a button or option within the GitHub interface that triggers the description generation for existing pull requests. This feature could utilize similar logic to the one employed during the creation of new pull requests.

Note:

This improvement aligns with the goal of creating a more efficient and user-friendly environment for collaboration within the GitHub platform.
