jerrygreen / git-pr Goto Github PK

It will help to quickly create branches like foo2, foo3

P.S. maybe not needed
P.P.S. maybe to make it some kind of git extension? so the command will look like git pr, not git-pr

git-pr qwe doesn't open a link suggesting to create a PR

What

Using a command git-pr cool_feature I'll should have a branch: jerrygreen/cool_feature

Why

Long story short: microsoft actively uses it

Long version:

Github uses yourname:yourbranch if it's a fork. However, it looks fine for non-forks to use yourname/yourbranch. It's especially important for big projects because you bypass naming conflicts. There is also a thing called "groups" (more info on stackoverflow) - so there's already some naming convention.

How

Where to get the username?

I can setup it with git config --global user.github jerrygreen

So git config --global user.github will return:

jerrygreen

It's possible to setup already, however, this key, user.github is not standard, so it's needed to add some info about configuration to README.md. Also, if the value is not set, need to print a hint of how to set it up.

What

Use git stash & git apply functionality instead of git reset & git add

Here in the code:

Why

Currently the git-pr-new command is adding unstaged changes to staged (if the same file has some staged changes and unstaged changes simultaneously)

How

What

git-pr from master branch should open /team/project/pulls url (i.e. list of PRs)

Why

git-pr from master branch currently does nothing. So having this feature would be useful and save time while jumping between projects and urls.

For a PR title it could be cool to automatically translate branch name:

branch_name
branch-name

To humanized title:

Branch name

For title, and for commit message
