Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

retarget_prs

Master to Main

This utility will change change the base of all the pull requests in your GitHub repository that are currently targetting a different branch. This is useful if you want to change the name of your default branch, but you have pull requests open.

For example, if you use the default default branch of master, but you want to change that to a name like main, by default the pull requests that you already have open in your repository will continue to target the old default branch (master).

Fortunately, you can change the base of an existing pull request, but this is a one-at-a-time, manual operation.

This utility will automate that, and make this change en masse.

Setup

  1. Ensure that you have Node.js installed.
  2. Create a personal access token to use to authenticate.

How to

If you want to change the name of the default branch on GitHub:

  1. Go to your project and make sure that you are on the current default branch (master). Open the branch picker, and type the name of the new branch (main). Select Create branch: main from 'master'.

    Create new branch

  2. Set this as the new default branch. Go to your project's settings, then select "Branches". Under "Default branch", open the branch picker and select the new default branch (main).

    Set the new default

  3. Update the existing pull requests. Specify your PAT with --token, your repository URL and the old and new branch names:

    npx retarget_prs --token your_pat https://github.com/your/repo master main
