Open Github PR from Terminal (SSH Authorization)

openpr.md

1. Install Dependencies

   brew install jq
   brew install hub

2. Log into hub (from any repo just do hub pr list)

   • use your github username for username
   • use a personal access token for password (token should have repo access)

3. Add script:

   touch ~/whatever/path/openpr.sh
   chmod +x ~/whatever/path/openpr.sh

4. Add this code to openpr.sh

   #!/bin/zsh
   
   # Check if we're in a Git repository
   git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree >/dev/null 2>&1
   if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
     echo "You are not inside a Git repository. Please navigate to a Git repository and try again."
     exit 1
   fi
   
   # Get the current branch name
   current_branch=$(git symbolic-ref --short HEAD)
   
   if [ -z "$current_branch" ]; then
     echo "You are not on a valid Git branch. Please switch to a branch and try again."
     exit 1
   fi
   
   # Get the GitHub user and repository name
   github_user_and_repo=$(git config --get remote.origin.url | sed 's|.*:\(.*\)/\(.*\)\.git|\1/\2|')
   
   # Get the pull request information
   pr_info=$(hub pr list -f "%I %H%n" | grep $current_branch)
   
   if [ -z "$pr_info" ]; then
     open "https://github.com/$github_user_and_repo/compare/$current_branch"
   else
     # Get the PR number
     pr_number=$(echo $pr_info | cut -d ' ' -f 1)
   
     # Open the pull request in the browser
     open "https://github.com/$github_user_and_repo/pull/$pr_number"
   fi

5. Add the alias to .zshrc:

   alais='~/whatever/path/openpr.sh`

6. Now from the root of any github repo that has a remote, you can just do:

   openpr
