Move around chains of pull requests (PRs)
An extension to the github cli that makes it easier to move around chains of pull requests.
A chain of PRs is where one PR is based upon another, which in turn is based on another, and so on.
Dependencies
- github cli -
brew install gh - jq -
brew install jq
Installation
gh extension install tamc/gh-pr-chain
Usage
Syntax: gh pr-chain [next|my-next|previous|merge-previous|merge-up-chain|create|insert|squash-into-previous|squash-chain]
next Go to a PR that is based on this PR
my-next Go to a PR that is based on this PR and that I authored
previous Go to the PR that this PR is based upon
merge-previous Git merge changes from the branch that this PR is based upon
merge-up-chain Merge changes from this branch up into the next PR. Then pushes. Then repeats up the chain.
create 'PR Title' Create a draft PR that is based on this PR
This will also create then checkout a branch with the same name.
insert 'PR Title' Insert a draft PR _before_ this PR
This will also create then checkout a branch with the same name.
It will also change this PR to be based on the newly created PR.
squash-into-previous This will squash merge this PR into its base branch.
It will check the PR has been approved.
It will use the PR title and body for the commit title and body.
It will close the PR and delete the branch.
squash-chain This will squash a chain of PRs into the current branch.
Each PR will become a single commit.
It is like calling squash-into-previous repeatedly.
