pull-request

HOW IT WORKS:

Step 1: Clone this repository

`git clone https://github.com/laksh95/pull-request.git` 

 OR you can clone to a specific directory using 

`git clone https://github.com/laksh95/pull-request.git /path/to/your/folder`

Step 2: make the script executable

 RUN: `chmod +x /path/to/repository-folder/pull.sh`

 This will give excutable privilege to the script.

Step 3: Create an alias in your .bashrc or .zshrc

 In both cases the format to create an alias is same.

`alias aliasname='command'`

 For understanding purpose I am creating alias by the name `pr` bt feel free to use any other name of your choice.

 Hence, in our case the alias will look like:

`alias pr='sh /path/to/repository-folder/pull.sh'`

Now the following step is required only if you are using Linux envorment

Voila, alias is ready and script is ready, now in order to make a PR all you have to do is call the alias and rest will be taken care of by itself.

Also, important things to note here.

The default base branch name is set to develop. Since I made the script I used the one which I wanted. So in case your base branch is different there are 2 ways do it:

1. When you call the alias pass a parameter as the name of the base branch you want to create pull request to.

Now first way is useful when you want to create a PR to a branch which is always your base branch.

In case you want to setup a default base branch and dont want to send the branch name as a parameter follow the next step.

Open the script in your choice of editor and edit the following line:

https://github.com/laksh95/pull-request/blob/master/pull.sh#L8

In this line change the string develop...$ref to your_branch_name...$ref

And now you are good to go.
