# GitHub "Open Pull Request" script

# Add somewhere in your path, then opening a PR is as easy as typing `pr` while you're
# on the branch you want to open a Pull Request for
#
# NOTES:
# - Uses the `hub` tool: https://cli.github.com/
# - Assumes that the upstream repository is called 'origin' and your fork is named after your github username
# (this is how `hub clone` and then `hub fork` should set things up)
