A lightweight ruby gem that pushes current local branch to remote with upstream at origin/[local-branch-name]. It also opens a new pull request browser window at a URL with customized query params, based on specified options, which pre-populates certain fields in the pull request. This is especially useful when supporting multiple PR templates within a code base.

Inspired by GitHub's documentation on using query params to create pull requets

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'pr-with-params'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install pr-with-params

NOTE: CLI name has changed as of v2.0.0 from pr-with-params to pr-wip along with some other breaking changes. See changelog for more details

Assuming you've committed your changes and your local branch is ready to be pushed, run:

$ pr-wip -t new_feature_template.md -l 'work in progress'

For a full list of options, run $ pr-wip -h

Gem supports defining options in a yaml file (.yaml, .yml) like so:

default:
  validators:
    - conventional_commits
  base_branch: main
  template: new_feature_template.md
  assignees: 2k-joker
  labels: enhancement

bug_fix:
  template: bug_fix_template.md
  labels: bug,urgent

• To run with config file, use $ pr-wip --config_path='path/to/file.yml' --scope=bug_fix. If --scope option is not specified, only :default scope will apply.
• If you specify a config file (--config_path) and also pass options by flag (e.g --base-branch=develop), the flag value will override the config value.
• All your defaults go in the :default scope.
• Only fields defined in another scope will override the defaults. In the example above, the final list of configs will be:

{ validators: ['conventional_commits'], base_branch: 'main', template: 'bug_fix_template.md', assignees: '2k-joker', labels: 'bug,urgent' }

Supported configs

• Conventional Commits: Gem supports validation of conventional commits for PR :title by default. This is to encourage users to follow conventional commit specs. To turn it off, pass the --ignore-conventional-commits flag or add conventional_commits to the list of validators in your config file or set ignore_conventional_commits: true in your config file.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
