How to pull a pull request quickly locally

Question

Before I merge a pull request I want to quickly pull the request locally and run tests and test out a few stuffs. I don't want to hit the gihub merge pull request yet.

I thought pulley would help http://ejohn.org/blog/pulley/ . But I am getting error

$ node pulley.js 76

node.js:116
        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
        ^

Is there any other tool that will help me quickly pull a "pull request"?

Answer 1

Click the (i) on the left side of the "merge pull request" bar, it will give you the commands you need.

Why not just use the following?

git remote add -f <test_repo_name> <test_repo_url>
git checkout -b <branch> <test_repo_name>/master
...test as needed
...merge if you like it
