Git extension to create GitHub Pull Requests using the GitHub API.
From your checked-out topic branch:
$ git pull-request
This will create a Pull Request in the repository you're contributing to.
git-pull-request(1) assumes there are two ways to work against a repository.
Pushing to the repository itself, where you clone using SSH or pushing to a fork of your own.
The latter requires you to have the original owners' repository as a remote.
More options:
usage: git pull-request [options]
or: git pull-request -t <title> [options]
or: git pull-request -i <issue> [options]
Create a Pull Request (PR) in GitHub.
OPTIONS:
-h <branch> Branch you want to PR. It has to exist in the remote. (Default: current branch)
-r <repo> Repo where to PR. (Default: current repo name)
-o <owner> Owner of the repo. (Default: parsed from your remote's URL)
-b <base> Branch where you want your PR merged into. (Default: master)
-t <title> Title of the PR. (Default: the last commit's title, as long as there is only one commit in the PR.)
-d <description> Description of the PR. "-" means read from standard input.
-i <issue> Number of the issue related.
WARNING: This will convert the issue into a PR and override <title> and <description>
-e Opens your EDITOR in a temporary file to write the description.
-c Copy the PR URL to the clipboard.
-f Fake run, doesn't make the request but prints the URL and body.
-w Add "wip" label on the issue. The -i <issue> option is required.
The -c option requires xclip or pbcopy.
With Homebrew
brew tap tonchis/goodies && brew install git-pull-request
For the standalone version, just lay git-pull-request on your PATH.
You'll need to create a Personal Access Token at https://github.com/settings/applications and put it in the ~/.git-pull-request file.
