prify

Break down each individual commits from a branch into individual Pull requests

Install

npm install -g prify

Prerequisites

Usage

prify break down each individual commits from a branch individual Pull requests. This let you create simpler pull requests that people can review.

Here is a typical workflow, when working on large feature

1/ Create a functional branch.

This will be the only branch where you add commits. prify will take care of cherry-picking commits from this branch into individual commits branches.

git checkout -b "important-stuff"

2/ Append a bunch of commits

git commit -a -m "add abc"
git commit -a -m "add xyz"

3/ Cleanup commits

Eventually if things get messy during devloment make a soft reset to reorganise your branch into a list of reviewable commits.

git reset --soft <merge-base>
git commit ...

3/ pullrequestify

Execute prify.

prify

This will

• Create a feature branch feature-important-stuff
• Create a branch foreach commit important-stuff-1-of-n, important-stuff-2-of-n, ...
• Open your browser so you can edit each pull request using feature-important-stuff as the base branch.

4/ Address PR-reviews

Once you start getting some reviews, you can simply use fixup to fix your commits, and execute prify again to update your commits branches

git commit --fixup <commit 1>
git commit --fixup <commit 2>
prify

This will

• Cherry pick fixup into your commits branches
• Open previously created pull-request in your browser.
