    I'm a big fan of hub, but I found myself wishing for the ability to use git hooks on pull-request messages the same way you can on commit messages with prepare-commit-msg and commit-msg hooks.  People have been asking for hub to be able to do this for a while, but until that happens, here is a way you can do it yourself, right now.
To use this, just drop the script below into your $PATH somewhere, and make sure you have your $EDITOR environment variable set to whatever command runs your real editor, and then set your $GIT_EDITOR environment variable to run the hub-editor script.
The way this works is that when hub-editor is invoked with a file named PULLREQ_EDITMSG (which is the filename hub uses for editing pull requests) then it will run the prepare-pull-request-msg and pull-request-msg scripts from your .git/hooks directory (if they exist and are executable).  If hub-editor is invoked with any other filename, then it just bails out to your real editor.
export EDITOR=vim
export GIT_EDITOR=hub-editor
hub pull-request

  
## hub-editor.sh
#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail

if [ "$(basename "$1")" != "PULLREQ_EDITMSG" ]; then
  # shellcheck disable=SC2086 # we want word-splitting if $EDITOR has args
  exec $EDITOR "$@"
fi

die() { echo "$1 exited with non-zero exit code" 1>&2; exit 1; }
