git-pr-switch
Switches your Git context to a PR, and then back again like nothing happened. This is mostly an experiment, and the code is atrocious--PRs are welcome.
It lists all open PRs in your Azure DevOps repo, then allows you to choose one to switch to. If there is only one PR open, it will switch to it automatically.
When it switches, it:
- stashes all changes, if any
- fetches all branches from remote
- switches to the PR branch
- pulls branch to get latest changes
- check if the remote branch is behind the remote base branch**, which could cause outdated code to be tested
When the user is done, it will:
- ask the user to discard any changes (if any were made to the PR.) It will not discard commits; just uncommited changes.
- if not, it will switch to the previous branch the user was on
- re-apply all stashed changes if there was changes originally
This means that it will preserve any git stashes that you have; it won't apply a stash that was stashed before invoking this program.

How to run
Log into your Azure DevOps account in Firefox. Change the GIT_REPO folder path and the AZURE_URL in the script. Then,
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 git-pr-switch.py
Follow the on-screen prompts.
Note: make sure that you trust the source of the repo, as there is no filtering for the command or repo names. This means that a malicious actor could execute arbitrary commands.
