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 = [email protected]: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:

Convert Git logs to JSON. The first script (git-log2json.sh) is all you need, the other two files contain only optional bonus features 😀THIS GIST NOW HAS A FULL GIT REPO: https://github.com/context-driven-testing-toolkit/git-log2json
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Use this one-liner to produce a JSON literal from the Git log:
git log \
--pretty=format:'{%n "commit": "%H",%n "author": "%aN <%aE>",%n "date": "%ad",%n "message": "%f"%n},' \

perl -pe 'BEGIN{print "["}; END{print "]\n"}' | \
perl -pe 's/},]/}]/'

A very simple quote and dash smartener in JS. Used to make my tweets look nicer.
// Change straight quotes to curly and double hyphens to em-dashes.
function smarten(a) {
a = a.replace(/(^|[-\u2014/(\[{"\s])'/g, "$1\u2018"); // opening singles
a = a.replace(/'/g, "\u2019"); // closing singles & apostrophes
a = a.replace(/(^|[-\u2014/(\[{\u2018\s])"/g, "$1\u201c"); // opening doubles
a = a.replace(/"/g, "\u201d"); // closing doubles
a = a.replace(/--/g, "\u2014"); // em-dashes
return a
};
