Rules of shame
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
/* Shame CSS */
// This is not a dumping ground. It is a staging area for hacks that are
// intended to be fixed and resolved so as not to sully our
// production-ready codebase. Hacks are necessary, but they are not
// permanent, nor are they acceptable long-term. You are not done when
// you've moved your selector and rules here.
// This is not intended to be an easy fix, or a simple way out. You will
// spend time writing out your shame, and you will make it known that

Checkout github pull requests locally

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 = git@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:
