Write good commit messages, then let a script write your PR for you—or at least the bulk of it.

write-pr

#! /usr/bin/env sh

# Configuration: where PRs are written
prdir=$HOME/PRs

# Argument: the git rev or ref upon which the PR is based
base=$1


repo=$(basename "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)")
mkdir -p "$prdir/$repo"

branch=$(git branch --show-current)
prfile=$prdir/$repo/$branch.md

commits() {
	echo "#### Summary"
	echo ""
	echo "#### Commits"
	echo ""
	git log "$base..HEAD" --reverse '--pretty=format:##### %s%n%n%b' |
	  sed -e 's/^\([^#]\)/> \1/'
	echo ""
	echo "#### Commentary"
	echo ""
}

if [ -e "$prfile" ]; then
	echo "PR file already exists. Appending commits."
