Never again look up a PR's branch

README.md

TL;DR

Tired of looking up what a PR branch is to merge, rebase, or checkout? With these few utils, you can

• checkout PR 135: checkout-pr 135

• merge PR 135 into current branch: merge-pr 135

• rebase current branch on branch of PR 135: rebase-on-pr 135

Steps

1. Install and setup github cli (https://github.com/cli/cli):

    brew install gh
    gh auth
   

2. Paste the functions below to your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc:

   function prbranch {
       gh pr view $1 --json headRefName | jq -r .headRefName
   }
   function merge-pr {
       branch="$(prbranch $1)"
       git fetch origin "$branch:$branch" &&
       git merge "$branch"
   }
   function rebase-on-pr {
       branch="$(prbranch $1)"
       git fetch origin "$branch:$branch" &&
       git rebase "$branch"
   }
   function checkout-pr {
     branch="$(prbranch $1)"
       git fetch origin "$branch:$branch" &&
       git checkout "$branch"
   }
   

3. Navigate to the repo dir and now you can use the commands at the top of this readme.
