Turning an existing GitHub Issue into a Pull Request

README.md

Why?

This command attaches code (pull request) to an existing issue. This prevents:

• creating a new issue when opening a new pull-request
• splitting an on-growing discussion from an issue into an pull request issue

Usage?

You can use personal and organization github names and their branches.

git pull-request -i issue-number-without-the-# -b request-to-branch -h request-from-branch

Be sure you are on the right local git repo (git branch) and try a command like the following (replace the githubnames, branchnames and issue number):

git pull-request -i 123 -b defunkt:develop -h defunkt:feature/awesomeness

install.sh

# install on OS X
$ brew install hub

# other systems
$ curl http://defunkt.io/hub/standalone -sLo ~/bin/hub
$ chmod +x ~/bin/hub

# alias it as git
$ alias git=hub

$ git version
git version 1.7.9
hub version 1.8.4 # ← it works!
