Create Pull Request on GitHub with same title as last commit message

Git Pull Request.md

Setup:

• Generate a GitHub Access Token with repo:status access.
• Put gitpr.py in a scripts directory (I use ~/scripts/python/) and update it with your github access token.
• Save gitpr as /usr/bin/gitpr and make it executable (chmod +x /usr/bin/gitpr). Then update the value of scripts_dir to the directory you saved gitpr.py in.
• Optional: Install pyperclip with sudo pip install pyperclip. If pyperclip is detected, the link to the Pull Request on GitHub will be copied to your clipboard.
• Optional: if you are using a repository that takes Pull Requests at a branch other than master, you will have to add the repository to the target_branches dict with the repo as the key and the target branch as the value. See the code for an example.

Usage:

• Fork a repository on GitHub
• git clone your fork
• cd to cloned repo directory
• git remote add the original repository
• Make changes and commit
• Run gitpr

It will push your changes to your fork, then submit a pull request from your fork to the original repository.

ex. Fork https://github.com/atom/atom

git clone [email protected]:Cabloo/atom.git
cd atom
git remote add original_repo [email protected]:atom/atom.git
touch testfile.txt
git add testfile.txt
git commit -m 'This will be the commit message and the title of the pull request'
