COMMANDS
help
Displays some help.
list [<state>]
Shows all pull requests in the given state. State can be either "open"
or "closed". The default state is "open". This is the default command if
none is specified.
show <number>
Shows details about the specified pull request number. Also includes
comments.
patch <number>
Shows the patch associated with the specified pull request number.
checkout <number>
Checks out the specified pull request in a dedicated tracking branch. If
the remote repo is not already specified in your git config, it will be
added and the branch in question will be fetched.
close <number>
Closes the specified pull request number. Be aware, you can't close a
pull request that has already been merged. If you try to, you'll get an
obscure "Validation Failed" error message from the GitHub API.
open <number>
Reopens the specified pull request number. Be aware, you can't reopen a
pull request that has already been merged or closed by the repo owner.
If you try to, you'll get an obscure "Validation Failed" error message
from the GitHub API.
comment <number> [<text>]
Creates a comment on the specified pull request with the specified text.
If text is not specified, an editor will be opened for you to type in
the text.
If your "EDITOR" environment variable has been set, that editor is used
to edit the text. If it has not been set, it will try to use the
editor(1) external program. This is usually a symlink set up by your
operating system to the most recently installed text editor.
login [<user>] [<password>]
Logs you in to GitHub and creates a new access token used instead of
your password. If you don't specify either of the options, they are
looked up in your git config github section. If none of those are found,
you'll be prompted for them.
METHODS
run(@args)
Calls any of the other listed public methods with specified arguments.
This is usually called automatically when you invoke prq.
DEBUGGING
Set the environment variable PRQ_DEBUG to a non-zero value to see more
details, like each API command being executed.
If you want to interact with another GitHub repo than the one in your
current directory, set the environment variable GITHUB_REPO to the name
of the repo in question. Example:
GITHUB_REPO=robinsmidsrod/App-GitHubPullRequest prq list
Be aware, that if that repo is a fork, the program will look for its
parent.
CAVEATS
If you don't authenticate with GitHub using the login command, it will
use unauthenticated API requests where possible, which has a rate-limit
of 60 requests. If you login first it should allow 5000 requests before
you hit the limit.
You must be standing in a directory that is a git dir and that directory
must have a remote that points to github.com for the tool to work.
