Remove GitHub PR review request
# For some reason, you can not remove a review request from a PR on GitHub in the UI
# I just misclicked in a repository and accidentally requested review and was unable to take it back.
# After a Google search, I found out that you can do it with the REST API (if you have the necessary permissions in the repo).
#
# GITHUB_USERNAME = Your GitHub username
# REPO_OWNER = The username of the GitHub user or organization that owns the repository
# REPO_NAME = The name of the target repository
# PULL_REQUEST_ID = The ID of the pull request
# GITHUB_REVIEWER_USERNAME = The GitHub username of the person you requested a review from

curl -i -X DELETE -u GITHUB_USERNAME https://api.github.com/repos/REPO_OWNER/REPO_NAME/pulls/PULL_REQUEST_ID/requested_reviewers -d '{"reviewers":["GITHUB_REVIEWER_USERNAME"]}'
