This useful little gem allows you in a single command to commit your staged changes, push them to your remote repository, and open a pull request for those changes.

Usually, when you have a quick fix to submit for an upstream repository, you would have to :

• Commit your fix
• Push your fix to your repository
• Go to your repository on Github
• Open a pullrequest and type the title/description
• Submit the pullrequest (And you won't know if it's mergeable)

GithubHelper does all that for you just with :

ghh -fm "Fixing a bug"

Or

git commit -m "Fixing a bug"
ghh -f

Just install the gem using :

gem install github_helper

The first time you run a ghh command in your git repository, a prompt will ask you your credentials (But won't store your password, only the OAuth token) and your target user/repo.

It will then save the configuration in .git/githelper.config.yml

The "fast mode" just needs the -f option. It will take your latest commit message and use it as the Pull request's title. Optionnaly, you can use -fm [message] to commit/push/open the PR.

To add an issue ID to the Pull request's description, just use the -i option.

To get some more help, just run ghh -h
