Small bash script to automatically open Pull Request page with branches correctly selected

open-pr

#!/bin/sh

# Retrieve branch name
branch=$(git branch --no-color 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/\1/')

# Retrieve destination branch
destination_branch=${branch%--*}

# Determine the default origin branch
if [[ $branch == $destination_branch ]]; then
  master_exists=$(git branch | grep 'master')

  if [[ -z $master_exists ]]; then
    destination_branch=develop
  else
    destination_branch=master
  fi
fi

# Retrieve repository URL
repository_url=$(git remote get-url origin | sed -e 's/git@//' -e 's/.git//' -e 's/:/\//')

if [[ $repository_url == github* ]]; then
  pr_url=https://$repository_url/compare/$destination_branch...$branch
elif [[ $repository_url == gitlab* ]]; then
  pr_url="https://$repository_url/merge_requests/new?merge_request%5Bsource_branch%5D=$branch&merge_request%5Btarget_branch%5D=$destination_branch"
fi

# Open the new Pull Request URL
open $pr_url

Nice.

A couple changes required to make it run on my machine (Ubuntu):

• open -> xdg-open on last line
• #!/bin/sh -> #!/usr/bin/env bash (bin/sh was symlinked to dash on my installation...)
