NAME

       git-pr - Checks out a pull request locally

SYNOPSIS

       git-pr [-m|--merge] <number> [<remote>]
       git-pr [-m|--merge] <[remote]:number>...
       git-pr [-m|--merge] <url>...
       git-pr clean

DESCRIPTION

       Creates  a  local  branch based on a GitHub pull request number or URL, and switch to that
       branch afterwards.

OPTIONS

       <remote>

       The name of the remote to fetch from. Defaults to origin.

       <url>

       GitHub pull request URL in the format https://github.com/tj/git-extras/pull/453.

       Checkout a merge commit against the branch the pull request  is  targeting.  Because  this
       feature  uses  a  private API with which GitHub checks the pull request's mergeability, it
       only works with the opened pull request. If the merge commit  is  not  up-to-date,  please
       visit the pull request web page to trigger the rebuild.

EXAMPLES

       This checks out the pull request 226 from origin:

           $ git pr 226

           remote: Counting objects: 12, done.
           remote: Compressing objects: 100% (9/9), done.
           remote: Total 12 (delta 3), reused 9 (delta 3)
           Unpacking objects: 100% (12/12), done.
           From https://github.com/tj/git-extras
            * [new ref]         refs/pull/226/head -> pr/226

           Switched to branch 'pr/226'

       This pulls from a different remote:

           $ git pr 226 upstream

       This does the same thing as the command above:

           $ git pr upstream:226

       You can also checkout a pull request based on a GitHub URL:

           $ git pr https://github.com/tj/git-extras/pull/453

           From https://github.com/tj/git-extras
            * [new ref]         refs/pull/453/head -> pr/453
           Switched to branch 'pr/453'

       You  could  even  pull  multiple  pull  requests  via the GitHub URL or the ID with remote
       specified:

           $ git pr upstream:226 upstream:443
           $ git pr upstream:443 https://github.com/tj/git-extras/pull/453

       Note that git pr PR-A PR-B is equal to:

           $ git pr PR-A
           $ git pr PR-B

       Therefore, if one of the pull request is failed to pull, this command will still go  ahead
       and  pull  the  others.  The  final  exit  code will be decided by the result of the final
       pulling.

       With --merge option, you could check out a merge commit:

           $ git pr origin:755 --merge
           remote: Enumerating objects: 3, done.
           remote: Counting objects: 100% (3/3), done.
           remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done.
           remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
           Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done.
           From github.com:tj/git-extras
           bf7dd69..de6e51c  refs/pull/755/merge -> pr/755
           Switched to branch 'pr/775'

           $ git log pr/775 --oneline
           de6e51c (pr/755) Merge bf7dd6...

       To clean up old branches:

           $ git pr clean

           Deleted branch pr/226 (was b96a8c2).
           Deleted branch pr/220 (was d34dc0f).
           Deleted branch pr/775 (was de6e51c).
