Getting a Github Access token

I tested this on github enterprise, so steps may vary slightly with the github api. NOTE: <url> listed below should be changed to relevant github api url, that's either api.github.com for GitHub and yourdomain.com/api/v3 for enterprise.

curl -k -u '<github-username>:<github-password>' -d '{"scopes":["repo", "user"],"note":"test?"}' https://<url>/authorizations

This will return a json blob, where one of the keys will be token.

Installation

  • Put the script in the /usr/bin
  • Create a file called .githubcredentials in your HOME directory and place the following in it

{ "user": <your github name>, "token": <your github token>, "github_url": <the github url of the github instance you are using> }

You will now have the following command available:

git pull_request

It takes a number of commandline arguments:

  • title (--title) (Mandatory) -> The title of the pull request
  • Body (--body) (Optional) -> The body of the pull request
  • Base (--base) (Optional) -> The base commit to diff against (defaults to master)
  • Head (--head) (Optional) -> The head commit to diff against (defaults to current branch, beware that this branch must be pushed remotely first.)
