bash-git-pull-request

Wrapper to automatically create pull requests on github through the command line using homebrew and hub.

Really, you should be switching to your feature/bugfix branch before starting work, but this script will pretend you are working off your base branch (such as master) before switching

Requirements

• OSX/macOS
• Homebrew

What does this do?

The script will:

• Check that brew is installed
  • Check that hub is installed from brew
• Create the new branch with the supplied branch name
  • If branch name does not begin with the prefix given in config.sh, then a random hash is prefixed to the branch name.
• If the commit message is supplied, it will commit any changes using the commit message
  • If no commit message supplied, it will simply not commit anything
• Push the changes to the branch on origin
• Create the pull request (where you enter the pull request title in your command line editor)

Suggested installation

cd ~/
mkdir .bash
cd .bash
git clone https://github.com/Wilkolicious/bash-git-pull-request.git

Put the following in your .bash_profile or .bashrc, or whichever resource file.

export BASHGITPULLREQUESTS=~/.bash/bash-git-pull-request
source "${BASHGITPULLREQUESTS}/main.sh"

Now source or reload your terminal, e.g.

source ~./bash_profile

Installation should be gucci.
