Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

Calling an external process from Clojure
(comment
This is the easiest and most concise way of calling an external process in Java. The inheritIO methods causes the command to output stdout and errout to the same place as your current process (which most of the times is the console), no need to create mechanisms for reading asynchronously from input streams to get at the information.
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/ProcessBuilder.html
)
(def ret (.waitFor (-> (ProcessBuilder. ["gzip" "-t" "g.txt.gz"]) .inheritIO .start)))
