This is a pretty great tool.

https://hub.github.com

I use it aliased to git, in which case it wraps your git commands with some enhancements and additional commands.

A few of my favourite commands

git sync (hub sync)

  • If the local branch is outdated, fast-forward it;
  • If the local branch contains unpushed work, warn about it;
  • If the branch seems merged and its upstream branch was deleted, delete it.

git pr list (hub pr list)

List PRs and create new ones form the command line.


git pull-request and git issue

Create issue and pull request directly from the command linef


Enhanced git checkout

You can now checkout directly from PRs.

$ hub checkout https://github.com/jingweno/gh/pull/73
> git fetch origin pull/73/head:jingweno-feature
> git checkout jingweno-feature
