Push to Pull Request

[VasekPurchart]

The problem I'm trying to solve:

When I checkout a PR, I do it almost always in order to work with the PR further, either I want to make some changes or most often only rebase it.

Currently when I want to push the changes back I have to find out the repo URL and branch name and construct something like:

git push git@github.com:fork/my-project branch-name

Or at least this is the only way I know currently to do it (without other tools).

How I imagine hub could expose this functionality:

I hoped that there would be a

hub pr push

command I could call. Ideally without having to specify the issue number again since I am already in the branch. But I am not sure if this is stored somewhere in the repo (since I cannot see it). What I am proposing in #2466 could help with this.

There would probably also have to be an -f option like with the normal push (since the common rebase usecase)

This is in fact what I hoped this project would solve for me when I saw it. And what I was looking for on https://hub.github.com/ in Designed for open-source maintainers

You should be able to just do git push without arguments. hub pr checkout makes it simple to push back to the PR, even those that are coming from forks.

When people send PRs with a branch named master, git pr checkout <pr_number> creates <username>-master branch. In this case, git push won't work as the branch name does not match: <username>-master in local and master in the remote. Is there any way to make this work?

Same problem here: @wkentaro Did you find any workaround?
