git-gh-setup

---

This scripts will find all github remotes in the current repository and add a new configuration that allows you to fetch pull request heads and merge-heads

+refs/pull/*/head
+refs/pull/*/merge

Example:

$ cd git-repo
$ git gh-setup
adding refs/pull/* to origin

# Now, attempt a fetch from github
$ git fetch
From git@github.com:chernjie/git-gh-setup
 * [new ref]         refs/pull/1/head -> origin/pull/1/head
 * [new ref]         refs/pull/1/merge -> origin/pull/1/merge
 * [new ref]         refs/pull/2/head -> origin/pull/2/head
 * [new ref]         refs/pull/2/merge -> origin/pull/2/merge

# Take a look at your logs
$ git log --oneline --decorate --graph --all
