This is a script that, given two commits in a repo, opens all the PRs in the diff in new tabs in your default browser.

Instructions

To fork the repository and navigate to the folder:

git clone github.com/blunderdome/PR-opener.git
cd pr_opener

To run the script:

./script.sh [--markdown] from_commit to_commit base_url git_directory project_subdirectory

Example:

./script.sh origin/production origin/staging https://github.com/myusername/myproject/pull/ ~/Documents/programs/myproject tooling

Will open PRs that made changes to files in the tooling/ directory of a project. The project_subdirectory parameter is optional, and if none is specified the script will look in the entire project rather than a specific subdirectory.

Warning: running this script may open a lot of new tabs!

If you set a base_url and a git_directory, the script will use those as defaults whenever they aren't specified. Example:

export REPO_URL=https://github.com/myusername/myproject/pull/
export LOCAL_REPO_PATH=/Users/myusername/Documents/programs/myproject/.git

You can also add these directly to your bash_profile (or whatever profile you use).

The from_commit and to_commit variables default to origin/production and origin/staging, respectively.

--markdown generates list of PRs and extra info in a markdown checklist and copies it to clipboard. This requires the hub command to be installed and authenticated.

• If you run this script with --markdown and see messages like "Requires authentication" or "github.com username: github.com password..." then you may not be authenticated. Try running hub browse from a cloned local repo to authenticate. (There is not currently a dedicated hub authentication command, so please note that running browse will open a browser window to your origin repo URL on GitHub.)
