Are you in a rush to manage hundreds of pull requests and have the ability to push directly to other people's forks? checkout.sh is the perfect companion to a dev that works on multiple pull requests a day. You can simply
checkout PR_NUMBER_ON_GITHUB
git add modified_files
git commit -m 'message'
git push
and push directly to their branch! checkout.sh will fetch metadata from github to set the upstream branch correctly. It will also create a remote repo with the user's github username for your convenience.
> checkout 14798
> git remote -v
origin https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt (fetch)
origin https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt (push)
...
# newly added repo below
ttodua https://github.com/ttodua/ccxt.git (fetch)
ttodua https://github.com/ttodua/ccxt.git (push)
The github repo to fetch the pull request data is detected automatically from the origin remote so there is no need to configure this script.
ln -s "$(pwd)/checkout.sh" /usr/local/bin/checkout
And you will be able to checkout any pull request by simply typing checkout PR_NUMBER inside of a local git repository.
Are you sick of getting conflicts and failing to push because a stale branch exists on GitHub already?
Use prune.sh to prune github's remote branches to the same set as your local branches.
Usage:
./prune.sh [--dry-run]
you can also change the name of the remote repository inside the script
Are you sick of having to type:
git checkout -b branch
git add -u
git commit -m 'message'
git push github branch
git checkout master
Each time you want to push a small change? Fret no more you can use this tool to do it automatically for you.
Usage:
./autopush.sh branch_name
Do you have 100 branches you need to delete but don't want to type git branch -D 100 times?
You can use clean.sh for an interactive prompt which asks you what branches you would like to delete.
Usage:
./clean.sh
Would you like to delete branch_name? (y/n)
This will automatically convert the origin remote repo from a https github remote repository to a ssh github remote repository, automatically handling any access tokens. This is useful if you use ssh keys to authenticate with github.
Usage:
> cd git-repo/
> git remote -v
origin https://frosty00:[email protected]/cs169/fa22-actionmap-fa22-43.git (fetch)
origin https://frosty00:[email protected]/cs169/fa22-actionmap-fa22-43.git (push)
> ./git-use-ssh.sh
> git remote -v
origin [email protected]:cs169/fa22-actionmap-fa22-43.git (fetch)
origin [email protected]:cs169/fa22-actionmap-fa22-43.git (push)
Make sure to add your ssh public key to github by doing:
# if your key exists
cat ~/.ssh/github_rsa.pub
# if you need to generate a key
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f ~/.ssh/github_rsa
cat ~/.ssh/github_rsa.pub
And then copy the key to your github profile settings under https://github.com/settings/keys
