A guide for releasing and maintaining open source projects.
Given you have this in your ~/.gitconfig:
[alias]
co-pr = !sh -c 'git fetch origin pull/$1/head:pr/$1 && git checkout pr/$1' -
Check out the code by its GitHub pull request number:
git co-pr 123
Rebase interactively, squash, and potentially improve commit messages:
git rebase -i master
Look at changes:
git diff origin/master
Run the code and tests. For example, on a Ruby project:
bundle
rake
Merge code into master:
git checkout master
git merge pr/123 --ff-only
Push:
git push origin master
Clean up:
git branch -D pr/123
