portbot

A small bot to port PRs

Dependencies

• Ruby (Recommended: 2.4, Requirement: Unknown)
• Ruby dependencies: uri, net/http, json (should come with Ruby install)
• Git

Usage

1. Edit the script to adjust any settings
2. Make sure you have git and ruby in your PATH
3. Fork the PORT_TO repo and get a local clone of it (make sure there is a origin remote)
4. Add the PORT_FROM repo as a remote in the PORT_TO repo, and fetch it
5. Put this script in the PORT_TO repo
6. Open shell. Windows: powershell/cmd/WSL Bash (given that you have ruby and git installed there); Linux: bash/sh; macOS: Terminal. Do not use Git bash or MSYS shell. They seem not to work and are super slow running Ruby.
7. Run ruby ./portbot.rb
8. Enter the PR number you want to port, resolve conflicts if any.
9. Enjoy!
