checking out pull request locally

I learnt a cool new trick today from [1].

From the opensmalltalk-vm root folder...

$ vi .git/config

I ended up with...

[remote "origin"]

url = [hidden email]:OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm.git

fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/PR/*

and thus for example can now do...

$ git fetch origin # i.e. from github server

$ git checkout PR/136

Per the provided message, you review the PR in a detached HEAD state since its not a local branch, but that is no big deal for read only and instructions are provided to use -b to turn it into a local branch.

Back to your regularly scheduled program via...

$ git checkout Cog

cheers -ben

y’know, I’m almost sure the words in your message were actual English, and yet the message as a whole was entirely in Klingon. ;-)
