PuRe can get open pull requests by author, or asignee. The two primary commands are:

prv by-author author1 author2 author3 ...
prv by-assignee author1 author2 author3 ...

Where author1, author2, and author3 are github usernames

Authentication

Sometimes, users have pull requests opened against private repos, which means they will not show up in results. However, if you have a user which can view those private repos, you can authenticate as that user to see the PR.

Method 1 - Explicit Auth

prv auth username -p
prv auth username -t

This command will attempt to authenticate as the provided username, using the prompted password (-p) or token (-t). If the authentication succeeds, the auth header will be stored in the local config and used for future requests. You can delete the stored auth with prv config-delete auth if you need to.

It is advised you utilize a github Personal Access Token with view-repo permission granted on it, as password authentication will fail for accounts with 2FA enabled.

Method 2 - Inline Auth

prv -u username -t by-author author1
prv -u username -t by-assignee author1
prv -u username -p by-author author1
prv -u username -p by-assignee author1

The by-author and by-assignee methods can accept auth options too, and will attempt to authenticate before making the request. If the requests succeed, the auth header will be saved and used in future requests by default.

Advanced Usage

If you need the same group or groups of users frequently, it may be beneficial to store them in an alias.

prv alias-set my-team author1 author2
prv by-author my-team

prv will automatically expand aliases at run time, so you can even chain multiple aliases together

prv by-assignee lead-devs qa-team interns author3

Aliases can be overwritten with alias-set or deleted with alias-delete at any time

prv alias-set my-team newUser1 newUser2 newUser3
prv alias-delete my-team qa-team

You can also get the value of any alias using alias-get

prv alias-get my-team

If you do not provide an argument to alias-get, the entire block of known aliases will be returned
