git-pr

Create Pull Requests with ease from the command line.

Currently only GitHub, GitLab and Azure DevOps are supported

PowerShell Alias Setup

Do the following to setup the pr alias (you'll currently need to clone this repo)

1. Open up your PowerShell profile

notepad.exe $profile

2. Import the PowerShell module into your profile

Import-Module C:\path-to-module\git-pr\git-pr.psm1

(Optional) Create your own alias

Add something like this to your profile: function pr() { git-pr }

3. Reload powershell console or run the following

. $PROFILE or RefreshEnv If this doesn't work, you may need to restart your shell

Setting the Target Branch

By default, the target branch will be master if you don't specify one. If you want to change & save a different target branch (i.e. if you're working of a develop branch or a feature branch), set the pr.base config by running git config git-pr.base my-branch or changing your your repo's .gitconfig to the following:

pr-base my-branch

This can be configured per repo.
