How to view git pull requests in a local server, in command line?

Question

I'm running a local git server, and I'm just wondering, is there a way to see all the pull-requests made by developers? Similar to Github or Bitbucket but in command line.

Answer 1

This small configuration change may help you achieve what you want.

1. Add the following line to your .git/config file fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*

2. Fetch all pull requests using : $ git fetch origin

3. To checkout a particular PR run : $ git checkout pr/999

There is a concise guide here

Answer 2

git-request-pull doesn't send anything. It just prints to your terminal a text, that can be e-mailed to upstream repository owner.

As written in docs:

The request, printed to the standard output, begins with the branch description, summarizes the changes and indicates from where they can be pulled.

And in Git Book:

you can run the git request-pull command and email the output to the project maintainer manually

Example from that book:

$ git request-pull origin/master myfork
