Script to merge GitHub pull requests remotely, while inspecting & signing them.

github-merge.sh

#!/bin/bash

# This script will locally construct a merge commit for a pull request on a
# github repository, inspect it, sign it and optionally push it.

# The following temporary branches are created/overwritten and deleted:
# * pull/$PULL/base (the current master we're merging onto)
# * pull/$PULL/head (the current state of the remote pull request)
# * pull/$PULL/merge (github's merge)
# * pull/$PULL/local-merge (our merge)

# In case of a clean merge that is accepted by the user, the local branch with
# name $BRANCH is overwritten with the merged result, and optionally pushed.
