# Create or update a pull request for a model branch

> <Note>
  This endpoint requires **Modeler** or **Connection Admin** permisisons.
</Note>

Pushes a branch's model contents to git and creates or updates a pull request. This mirrors the **Create Pull Request** / **Update Pull Request** buttons in Omni allowing API consumers and AI agents to drive the pull request workflow programmatically.

By default, the endpoint automatically detects whether the git branch exists. If a branch doesn't exist, a successful request will create a new git branch and open a pull request. If a branch does exist, a commit will be added to the branch.

The `allow_branch_exists` and `require_branch_exists` parameters constrain this behavior:

- **Create or update mode** (default) - Auto-detects and handles both scenarios
- **Create-only mode** (`allow_branch_exists: false`) - Fails if the git branch already exists
- **Update-only mode** (`require_branch_exists: true`) - Fails if the git branch doesn't exist
