github-pullrequest

Emacs package to smoothly create and checkout Github pull requests. Uses the Github access token for authorization to Github. This means you can use this package even if your Github account uses Two-Factor Authentication.

Installation

It's available on MELPA

M-x package-install github-pullrequest

And then add to your Emacs settings

(require 'github-pullrequest)

Use ido-ubiquitous to enable IDO

Usage

First time you run any command, it will ask for your Github access token. You can create a new access token under github settings. It is then saved in your git setting for the current repository under the key github.token, so you don't have to enter it next time.

Prerequisite

The git repository you want to work with must have a remote called origin which is a github remote.

New pull request

M-x github-pullrequest-new

Creates a pull request with current branch as head and master as base. The title of the pull request is the branch name and there is no describing text.

Checkout pull request

M-x github-pullrequest-checkout
