.bashrc with GitHub PR function

.bashrc

pr () {
  git fetch origin refs/pull/$1/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/$1 --force
  git checkout -b pr/$1 origin/pr/$1
  git rebase master
  git checkout master
  git merge pr/$1 --ff-only
}

You can now CD into a directory containing a checked-out Git repo and type pr 42 to pull down the contents of PR #42 and put it on top of master.

If the PR was already on top of master, then pushing this will automatically close the PR as "merged." If not, then the PR will remain open, and you'll want to close it with a comment like "merged in deadb33f."

Note that on Macs by default .bashrc doesn't run. See http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/12993/why-doesnt-bashrc-run-automatically

For merging your own PRs, or in general any PR that uses a branch on the main repo instead of a fork, you can try:

mypr () {
  git checkout $1
  git rebase master
  git push origin $1 --force
  git checkout master
  git merge $1 --ff-only
}

Usage:

$ mypr selectors-attribute-values # rebases, force-pushes to update origin version, and merges to local master
$ git push # pushes local master to origin
