Installation

Use the standard Python installation method:

pip install git-pull-request

Once you made a bunch of commits into a branch, just type:

2. Add your forked repository as a remote named "github" (if needed)
3. Force push your current branch to your remote
4. Create a pull-request for your current branch to the remote matching branch, or master by default.
