hub-merge

Merge a pull request locally with a message like the GitHub Merge Button.

hub merge PULLREQ-URL

This creates a local merge commit in the current branch, but does not actually change the state of the pull request. However, the pull request will get auto-closed and marked as "merged" as soon as the newly created merge commit is pushed to the default branch of the remote repository.

$ hub merge https://github.com/jingweno/gh/pull/73
> git fetch origin refs/pull/73/head
> git merge FETCH_HEAD --no-ff -m "Merge pull request #73 from jingweno/feature..."
