+then
+  name=$( basename $0 )
+  cat <<- USAGE
+  Usage: $name pr "title" "description"
+
+  * All commits in the specified PR will be squashed and a new commit prepared
+    with the provided title and description as commit message.
+  * This script will not push the new commit. You will need to do so yourself
+    by force-pushing, since you will be rewriting history. You must be the
+    author of the PR or a maintainer of the repository in order to perform this
+    operation.
+  * The 'gh' CLI tool must be installed and authenticated.
+  * To write a multiline description, you can use "\$(cat <<EOF
+line 1
+line 2
+EOF
+)" to pass it as a single argument.
+  * If you get a '[rejected]' error when updating the target branch and then
+    locally merging the changes into the source branch, it is likely because the
+    source branch already exists on your machine (e.g. you ran this script
+    multiple times). In that case, you can delete the local source branch
+    (e.g. 'git branch -D [source]') and try again.
