Converts an issue into a pull request. Works within one repository only and always pulls a branch into master. Requires github.user and github.token to be set.

pull-request

#!/bin/sh
BRANCH_NAME=$(git symbolic-ref -q HEAD)
BRANCH_NAME=${BRANCH_NAME##refs/heads/}
BRANCH_NAME=${BRANCH_NAME:-HEAD}

REPO_NAME=`git config --get-regexp remote\..+\.url | perl -p -e 's/^remote\.\w+\.url\s+git\@github.com:(.+).git/\$1/'`

echo "Pulling $BRANCH_NAME into master of $REPO_NAME"

read -p "Issue #: " GITHUB_ISSUE

curl -d "pull[base]=master" -d "pull[head]=$BRANCH_NAME" \
  -d "pull[issue]=$GITHUB_ISSUE" \
  -u "`git config --get github.user`/token:`git config --get github.token`" \
