v0.1.0

This release brings smarter diffing, streamlined collaboration, and developer-friendly improvements!

✨ Highlights

1. 🔍 git pr show-diff – Now Works Without Pulling!

You can now view the diff of any pull request without checking it out first. No more running git pr pull before inspecting changes!

  • Fetches the PR diff directly via GitHub API.
  • Compares against origin/main using triple-dot diff logic.
  • ⚙️ Intelligent pager selection:
    • Uses delta for pretty diffing (if installed)
    • Falls back to less or cat if not available.
  • New Flag: --raw to output the unformatted diff (great for scripting or CI logs)
git pr show-diff <PR_NUMBER> --raw

2. 🧪 Smarter git pr pull about Forks vs. Same-Repo PRs

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 PRs from same repository:

  • Pulls the branch directly
  • Checks it out
  • Contributors can push commits back to the original PR branch with no extra flags

🍴 PRs from forks:

  • Pulls to a read-only branch like: alice-pr-42
  • Cannot push updates directly to original PR
  • Users can cherry-pick or open a new PR if needed
  • No need for --contribute anymore! Access is based on GitHub repo permissions.

3. 🛠️ Improvements & Fixes

  • submit-review now has --approve, --reject and --comment-only switches
    • --approve approves the PR
    • --reject rejects the PR and closes it using GitHub API
    • --comment-only is to put a comment in the PR
    • All 3 works with --message switch
  • Fixed a trait method signature error for show_diff
  • Handled unused Result properly to avoid warning spam
  • More robust error messages for missing PRs, network failures, or bad diffs
  • Expanded in-code documentation across all major functions

💻 Quick Usage

git pr list
git pr pull 42
git pr show-diff 42 --raw
git pr show-details 42
git pr submit-review 42 --message "LGTM" --approve
git pr submit-review 42 --message "Wrong logic" --reject
git pr submit-review 42 --message "LGTM, please change like 5" --comment-only

❤️ Special Thanks

Thanks to the hours of frustration caused by switching between gh, GitHub UI, and git just to review simple PRs — this tool was born out of necessity and caffeine. A lot can be done with this and I feel I will keep improving this.
