I've mentioned this before, but with some of our new code review guidelines, I figured it's good to reiterate. Github has a CLI tool that helps with doing git-related things with github. It's called hub. It's written in Go, so installing it is as easy as go get github.com/github/hub
Github recommends making an alias to have hub replace git, since it forwards everything to git that it doesn't understand. Honestly, I don't really see any benefit to that. I prefer to understand what git is doing versus what hub is doing. It can do a whole bunch of stuff, but there are two things I use it for the most - checking out PRs and making PRs. Since we're supposed to be doing manual testing on people's PRs when we review them, we need a way to do that. With hub it's one command: hub checkout <url of PR> so, for example: hub checkout https://github.com/juju/juju/pull/5915 Bam, your local branch is set to a copy of the PR (don't forget to run godeps). To make a PR from the CLI using hub, make sure the repo you want to PR against is the git remote called origin, then you can make a PR with your current branch by just doing hub pull-request This will open an editor to write the PR message, or you can use -m just like with git commit. -Nate
