Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

When I upgraded my Mac to OS X Mavericks, a lot of utilities (like Python, virtualenv, Xcode) broke, and it was pretty stressful trying to get it all set back up. Hopefully this guide can spare you some of that pain.Note: I'm by no means a Linux or Mac expert, so please fork and let me know if anything is redundant, incorrect, or missing!
# A guide to prevent pain and suffering while upgrading to OS X Mavericks
# This will vary greatly depending on system set up, so read the instructions carefully
# Back up Virtulenvs
####################
# Very important!
# For each virtualenv you have, run "pip freeze > requirements.txt" while in the activated virtualenv
# in order to prevent loss of dependencies during the upgrade.
