🔃 GitHub PR Update Description

Python script to attempt to refresh the github PR description with the top commit.

Note: the gh cli tool permits pretty similar functionality (plus a TON more), via for example:

# use git log to get the current commit message subject + body, and pass to gh
gh pr edit \
  --title "$(git log -n1 --format='%s')" \
  --body "$(git log -n1 --format='%b')"

Usage

Requires a github token available from git config, eg:

git config github.apitoken <your token>

❯ pip install gh-pr-update-description

❯ gh-pr-update-description
