 * Can assign `assignee`, `reviewer`, one or more `label`, a `milestone` or mark it as a `draft`
 * Can replace any `old_string` inside a pull request template with a `new_string`. Or put commits' subjects in place of `old_string`.
 * When `get_diff` is `true` will add list of commits in place of `<!-- Diff commits -->` and list of modified files in place of `<!-- Diff files -->` in a pull request template.
