@ethomson has some tips on how to checkout PRs here:
http://edwardthomson.com/blog/advent_day_5_review_pull_requests_locally.html
After some initial configuration, this allows checking out a PR like this:
git fetch pr
git checkout pr/1234
It would be nice if git pr supported something similar. For example:
git pr checkout 1234
This would locate the pull request branch and checkout that (rather than the pull request reference). The advantage of using the branch rather than the reference would be the user could push to the branch if they're the repository owner/collaborator.
If the pull request was submitted be an external contributor, the contributor/remote name would need to be specified:
git pr checkout 1234 --remote {contributor}
I've been wondering what a sensible format for the local branch would be. It could contain information about the PR number, owner and/or branch name:
pr/1234/contributor/branch-name
pr/1234/branch-name
branch-name
