Hello everybody!

I found a very useful tip on using pull requests: [Checkout github pull 
requests locally](https://gist.github.com/piscisaureus/3342247)

I quoted:

> 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 = g...@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:
>     
>     
>      [remote "origin"]
>             fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
>             url = g...@github.com:joyent/node.git
>             fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*
>      
> 
> Now fetch all the pull requests:
>     
>     
>      $ git fetch origin
>      From github.com:joyent/node
>       * [new ref]         refs/pull/1000/head -> origin/pr/1000
>       * [new ref]         refs/pull/1002/head -> origin/pr/1002
>       * [new ref]         refs/pull/1004/head -> origin/pr/1004
>       * [new ref]         refs/pull/1009/head -> origin/pr/1009
>      ...
>      
> 
> To check out a particular pull request:
>     
>     
>      $ git checkout pr/999
>      Branch pr/999 set up to track remote branch pr/999 from origin.
>      Switched to a new branch 'pr/999'
>      

**Warning: the size of the repository will increase significantly in the 
occupied space!**

I would be happy if it is useful to someone.

And how do you use git?
