Zsh Open PR

Open pull requests from command line.

Just use the command: open-pr

What it does

When you call open-pr, the function will verify if you are working on a fork (by convention, you have an upstream remote), then, it will open your browser in the correct URL so you can just hit the Create Pull Request button.

The function also accepts one argument, in case you want to specify another target branch (instead of master, which is the convention).

URL breakdown:

https://github.com/target-remote/repo/compare/master...origin:random-feature

          |           |            |
          |           |             -> the target repository, also from origin
          |           |                or upstream remotes
          |           |
          |            -> can be both origin or upstream
          |
           -> default host

Usage

For example, when you work on your own project:

$ git remote -v
origin  git@github.com:caarlos0/open-pr.git (fetch)
origin  git@github.com:caarlos0/open-pr.git (push)

$ git branch
* master

$ git checkout -b random-feature
$ touch this-file-is-important
$ git add -A
$ git commit -m 'did some stuff'
$ git push
$ open-pr
# will browse https://github.com/caarlos0/open-pr/compare/master...random-feature

Working on a fork:

$ git remote -v
origin  git@github.com:random-user/open-pr.git (fetch)
origin  git@github.com:random-user/open-pr.git (push)
upstream  git@github.com:caarlos0/open-pr.git (fetch)
upstream  git@github.com:caarlos0/open-pr.git (push)

$ git branch
* master

$ git checkout -b random-feature
$ touch this-file-is-important
$ git add -A
$ git commit -m 'did some stuff'
$ git push
$ open-pr
# will browse https://github.com/caarlos0/open-pr/compare/master...random-user:random-feature

Previous example, but to a develop branch, for instance:

$ open-pr develop
# will browse https://github.com/caarlos0/open-pr/compare/develop...random-user:random-feature

More Usage

Just hit open-pr on your repositories.

You can also alias it:

$ git config --global alias.pr open-pr
$ git pr

But I like the following approach more:

gpr() {
  git push origin HEAD && open-pr "$@"
}

So I can git push and open-pr in a single, three letters command:

$ gpr
