GitHub Pull Request Creator¶

This package provides functionality to programmatically create a "Pull Request" on a repository hosted on GitHub.

Setup¶

Set up your Github settings on Edit/Project Settings/Stratkit/Github Settings:

Usage¶

PullRequestCreatorConfig config = new();
PullRequestCreatorUI prCreatorUi = new();
prCreatorUi.SetConfig(config);
prCreatorUi.OpenWindow();

Installation¶

This package depends on git command line tool. Make sure you have git and, if required, git-lfs installed. Use git credential manager to avoid having to enter your credentials every time.

MacOS¶

Use homebrew to install git and git-lfs

brew install git git-lfs
git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain
sudo git lfs install --system

Windows¶

Download and install git from https://git-scm.com/download/win Download and install git lfs from https://git-lfs.github.com/

Enable caching of git credentials:

git config --global credential.helper manager

You should not use the Open SSH client that comes with Git for Windows. Instead, Windows 10 has its own implementation of Open SSH that is integrated with the system. To achieve this:

Start the ssh-agent from Windows Services:
Type Services in the Start Menu or Win+R and then type services.msc to launch the Services window;
Find the OpenSSH Authentication Agent in the list and double click on it;
In the OpenSSH Authentication Agent Properties window that appears, choose Automatic from the Startup type: dropdown and click Start from Service status:. Make sure it now says Service status: Running.
Configure Git to use the Windows 10 implementation of OpenSSH by issuing the following command in Powershell:
```
git config --global core.sshCommand C:/Windows/System32/OpenSSH/ssh.exe
```
Configure SSH to automatically add the keys to the agent on startup by editing the config file found at $HOME\.ssh\config (full path - C:\Users\%YOUR_USERNAME%\.ssh\config), and add the following lines:
```
Host *
    AddKeysToAgent yes
    IdentitiesOnly yes
```
You can also add the following lines if you generated an SSH key with custom name or multiple SSH keys:
```
Host github.com
    HostName github.com
    User your_user_name
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/your_file_name
```
Add your SSH key to the ssh-agent by issuing the ssh-add command and entering your passphrase:
```
ssh-add $HOME/.ssh/your_file_name
```
Done! Now restart your Powershell and even Windows if necessary.
