+# Interact with Discussions and Pull Requests 
+
+The `huggingface_hub` library provides a Python interface to interact with Pull Requests and Discussions on the Hub.
+Visit [the dedicated documentation page](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/repositories-pull-requests-discussions)
+for a deeper view of what Discussions and Pull Requests on the Hub are, and how they work under the hood.
+
+## Retrieve Discussions and Pull Requests from the Hub
+
+The `HfApi` class allows you to retrieve Discussions and Pull Requests on a given repo:
+
+```python
+>>> from huggingface_hub import get_repo_discussions
+>>> for discussion in get_repo_discussions(repo_id="bigscience/bloom-1b3"):
+...     print(f"{discussion.num} - {discussion.title}, pr: {discussion.is_pull_request}")
+
+# 11 - Add Flax weights, pr: True
+# 10 - Update README.md, pr: True
+# 9 - Training languages in the model card, pr: True
+# 8 - Update tokenizer_config.json, pr: True
+# 7 - Slurm training script, pr: False
+[...]
+```
+
+`HfApi.get_repo_discussions` returns a [generator](https://docs.python.org/3.7/howto/functional.html#generators) that yields
+[`Discussion`] objects. To get all the Discussions in a single list, run:
+
+```python
+>>> from huggingface_hub import get_repo_discussions
+>>> discussions_list = list(get_repo_discussions(repo_id="bert-base-uncased"))
+```
+
+The [`Discussion`] object returned by [`HfApi.get_repo_discussions`] contains high-level overview of the
+Discussion or Pull Request. You can also get more detailed information using [`HfApi.get_discussion_details`]:
+
+```python
+>>> from huggingface_hub import get_discussion_details
+
+>>> get_discussion_details(
+...     repo_id="bigscience/bloom-1b3",
+...     discussion_num=2
+... )
+DiscussionWithDetails(
+    num=2,
+    author='cakiki',
+    title='Update VRAM memory for the V100s',
+    status='open',
+    is_pull_request=True,
+    events=[
+        DiscussionComment(type='comment', author='cakiki', ...),
+        DiscussionCommit(type='commit', author='cakiki', summary='Update VRAM memory for the V100s', oid='1256f9d9a33fa8887e1c1bf0e09b4713da96773a', ...),
+    ],
+    conflicting_files=[],
+    target_branch='refs/heads/main',

+
+[`HfApi.get_discussion_details`] returns a [`DiscussionWithDetails`] object, which is a subclass of [`Discussion`]
+with more detailed information about the Discussion or Pull Request. Information includes all the comments, status changes,
+and renames of the Discussion via [`DiscussionWithDetails.events`].
+
+In case of a Pull Request, you can retrieve the raw git diff with [`DiscussionWithDetails.diff`]. All the commits of the
+Pull Request are listed in [`DiscussionWithDetails.events`].
+
+
+## Create and edit a Discussion or Pull Request programatically
+
+The [`HfApi`] class also offers ways to create and edit Discussions and Pull Requests.
+You will need an [access token](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/security-tokens) to create and edit Discussions
+or Pull Requests.
+
+The simplest way to propose changes on a repo on the Hub is via the [`create_commit`] API. [`create_commit`]: just 
+set the `create_pr` parameter to `True`. This parameter is also available on other methods that wrap [`create_commit`]:
+
+    * [`upload_file`]
+    * [`upload_folder`]
+    * [`delete_file`]
+    * [`metadata_update`]
+
+```python
+>>> from huggingface_hub import metadata_update
+
+>>> metadata_update(
+...     repo_id="username/repo_name",
+...     metadata={"tags": ["computer-vision", "awesome-model"]},
+...     create_pr=True,
+... )
+```
+
+You can also use [`HfApi.create_discussion`] (respectively [`HfApi.create_pull_request`]) to create a Discussion (respectively a Pull Request) on a repo.
+Opening a Pull Request this way can be useful if you need to work on changes locally. Pull Requests opened this way will be in `"draft"` mode.
+
+```python
+>>> from huggingface_hub import create_discussion, create_pull_request
+
+>>> create_discussion(
+...     repo_id="username/repo-name",
+...     title="Hi from the huggingface_hub library!",
+...     token="<insert your access token here>",
+... )
+DiscussionWithDetails(...)
+
+>>> create_pull_request(
+...     repo_id="username/repo-name",
+...     title="Hi from the huggingface_hub library!",
+...     token="<insert your access token here>",
+... )
+DiscussionWithDetails(..., is_pull_request=True)
+```
+
+Managing Pull Requests and Discussions can be done entirely with the [`HfApi`] class. For example:
+
+    * [`comment_discussion`] to add comments
+    * [`edit_discussion_comment`] to edit comments
+    * [`rename_discussion`] to rename a Discussion or Pull Request 
+    * [`change_discussion_status`] to open or close a Discussion / Pull Request 
+    * [`merge_pull_request`] to merge a Pull Request 
+
+
+Visit the [`HfApi`] documentation page for an exhaustive reference of all available methods.
+
+## Push changes to a Pull Request
+
+*Coming soon !*
