CIRCLE_PULL_REQUEST env variable now populated for GitHub App pipelines

Apr 08, 2025

Enhancement

The environment variable CIRCLE_PULL_REQUEST is now populated for all pipelines triggered from GitHub, regardless of integration type, whenever the triggering commit is associated with a pull request.

For GitHub App pipelines specifically, the pipeline variable pipeline.event.context.github.pr_url is also populated with the same information.

Previously, the CIRCLE_PULL_REQUEST environment variable was only populated for pipelines that used CircleCI’s GitHub OAuth App integration.
