OSX for Hackers: Yosemite/El Capitan Edition. This script tries not to be *too* opinionated and any major changes to your system require a prompt. You've been warned.

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:

Partial bash script for setting prompt to EC2 instance name. Add this to .bashrc
# these make the ec2 commands just work
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY=[AWS access key]
export AWS_SECRET_KEY=[AWS secret]
# fetch the instance id
export INSTANCE_ID=$(wget -q -O - http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id)
#grep out the tag you're looking for, in this case "Name"
export APP_TAG=$(ec2-describe-tags | grep $INSTANCE_ID | grep -oE "Name\\W+(.+)$" | grep -oE "\\W.+$")
