Setup

The steps below is for creating symlinks in the system root, targeting the config files in this repo.

Specifically, it'll create these symlinks:

# In root: ~/
.bash_profile@   --> gitconfig/.bash_profile
.bashrc@         --> gitconfig/.bashrc
.git_aliases@    --> gitconfig/.git_aliases
.gitconfig@      --> gitconfig/.gitconfig
.vim@            --> gitconfig/.vim
.vimrc@          --> gitconfig/.vimrc

On Linux

git clone https://github.com/EvitanRelta/gitconfig
cd gitconfig
bash init.sh

On Windows

1. Run Git Bash as administrator
2. Execute export MSYS=winsymlinks:nativestrict
   (this will allow creation of symlinks used in init.sh)
3. Do the steps in the On Linux section above

git pull-pr [username]:[branch] [optional_remote_name]

Pulls (and checkout to) a PR's branch. The [username]:[branch] is given in the GitHub's PR description.

If no remote with a URL containing [username] exists, create a new remote named [username] (or [optional_remote_name] if given) with a URL based on origin remote.
(eg. If origin https://github.com/EvitanRelta/repo then the URL will be https://github.com/[username]/repo)

If a remote exists, but it's name isn't equal to [optional_remote_name], then that remote is renamed to [optional_remote_name].

For example, for the PR description:
"afiqzu wants to merge 1 commit into CS3219-AY2324S1:assignment-5 from afiqzu:assignment-5"
[username]:[branch] = afiqzu:assignment-5

# Given this scenario:
$ git remote -v
oldremote  https://github.com/EvitanRelta/repo
origin     https://github.com/myorigin/repo

Example usage 1:

git pull-pr EvitanRelta:pr-branch
# is alias for:
git fetch oldremote
git checkout -b oldremote-pr-branch oldremote/pr-branch

Example usage 2:

git pull-pr EvitanRelta:pr-branch newremote
# is alias for:
git remote rename oldremote newremote
git fetch newremote
git checkout -b newremote-pr-branch newremote/pr-branch

Example usage 3:

git pull-pr NewUser:pr-branch newremote
# is alias for:
git remote add newremote https://github.com/NewUser/repo
git fetch newremote
git checkout -b newremote-pr-branch newremote/pr-branch
