Can cherrypick all PR(pull request) from github?

Can cherrypick all PR(pull request) from github?



Is it possible to cherry-pick all pending PR from github?



Let's say I have 4 PR from 4 different forked repositories waiting for review. I need to apply all of them to the latest source code.


PR#65 Do something
PR#61 Notify this
PR#55 Fix that
PR#42 Show there



I know that I can git remote add all repositories and cherry-pick them one by one. However, I believe there would be easier/shorter way to cherry-pick all pending pull request which I don't know yet ;)


git remote add



Thanks in advance





I don't think that a PR in GitHub (or any other Git repo provider) can have more than a single repo/branch destination. It sounds like your workflow is a mess, from what I read above.

Why do you have so many forked respositories?

You can't cherrypick the commits because the commits are not in your local repository.



You should fetch the pull requests like that..



1 by 1:
https://help.github.com/articles/checking-out-pull-requests-locally/



All at once:
https://gist.github.com/piscisaureus/3342247



add pr/* to .git/config


test_repo


$ git remote -v
test_repo http://github/testA.git (fetch)
test_repo http://github/testA.git (push)


vim .git/config


[remote "test_repo"]


fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/test_repo/pr/*



so it would look like


[remote "test_repo"]
url = http://github/testA.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/test_repo/*
fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/test_repo/pr/* <-- this line was added


$ git fetch test_repo

* [new ref] refs/pull/16/head -> test_repo/pr/16
* [new ref] refs/pull/17/head -> test_repo/pr/17
* [new ref] refs/pull/18/head -> test_repo/pr/18
* [new ref] refs/pull/19/head -> test_repo/pr/19


git cherry-pick test_repo/pr/xx



What you need to do is pull each PR-branch one-by-one, resolve conflicts as required.


pull


PR-branch



Given:


- PR#65 at https://github.com/author_1/your-repo/tree/PR-branch-name-1
- PR#61 at https://github.com/author_2/your-repo/tree/PR-branch-name-2
- PR#55 at https://github.com/author_3/your-repo/tree/PR-branch-name-3
- PR#42 at https://github.com/author_4/your-repo/tree/PR-branch-name-4



then pull each PR locally:

e.g. the PR#65:


PR#65


git checkout <your-test-branch>
git pull https://github.com/author_1/your-repo.git PR-branch-name-1





Use git fetch, not git pull, here, as git pull will git merge the pull request commit but the goal is to cherry pick rather than merging. (In general I commend not using git pull at all.)

git fetch


git pull


git pull


git merge


git pull





That technically true @torek. But since the OP is looking for easier/shorter way to have the PR commit(s) within the source code, git pull is the way to go as it will fetch the PR branch and merge all the commits in the PR in one go.

git pull


fetch


merge





That's the thing: he said, rather clearly, that he did not want them merged.

How can temperature be calculated given relative humidity and dew point?

How can temperature be calculated given relative humidity and dew point? While looking into the better indicator of how miserable it feels outside, either dew point or relative humidity, I came across this statement: The optimum combination for human comfort is a dewpoint of about 60 F and a RH of between 50 and 70% (this would put the temperature at about 75 F). Source: http://www.theweatherprediction.com/habyhints/190/ This led me to this calculator that will calculate the temperature given relative humidity and dew point - for example a dew point of 70 degrees F and a relative humidity of 90% results in a temperature of 73.11 degrees F. The web site for this calculator says the values are based on the August-Roche-Magnus approximation and gives the following equation to calculate temperature: $T =243.04 Large fracfrac17.625 TD243.04+TD-lnleft(fracRH100right)17.625+lnleft(fracRH100right)- frac17.625 TD243.04+TD$ Given the equation I'm still having a hard time figuring out...

I have a recursive function to validate tree graph and need a return condition

I have a recursive function to validate tree graph and need a return condition I have a tree graph. Each node has attribute 'amount'. The rule governing the attribute value of root is this, The root 'amount' value is the sum of the 'amount' attribute of each of it's children. This continues to the last node with children. In other words this tree's attributes are unlike a sum tree, because the root node is not the sum of each node in the tree. Here is a toy example as graph G: nodedict = 'apples': 'amount': 5.0, 'bananas': 'amount': 10.0, 'tomato': 'amount': 50.0, 'total_fruits': 'amount': 15.0, 'total_vegetables': 'amount': 9.0, 'carrot': 'amount': 3.0, 'squash': 'amount': 6.0, 'total_fruits_and_vegetables': 'amount': 74.0 edgelist = [('total_fruits', 'apples'), ('total_fruits', 'bananas...
