Right Branch

Currently GitHub does not support switching the target branch of a Pull Request. This tool helps to do that in case a PR is submitted against a wrong branch.

Getting started

Install gem:

$ gem install right_branch

Usage:

$ right_branch [options]
    -u, --username USERNAME          Username
    -r, --repository REPOSITORY      Repository
    -b, --new-branch NEW_BRANCH      New branch
    -p, --pull-request PULL_REQUEST  Pull request
    -t, --access-token ACCESS_TOKEN  Access token
        --password PASSWORD          Password

You can also use environment variables to set default configuration values.

  $ export RIGHT_BRANCH_USERNAME=your_default_username
  $ export RIGHT_BRANCH_REPOSITORY=your_default_repository
  $ export RIGHT_BRANCH_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_default_access_token

Acess token

You can avoid having to type your username and password by providing an access token generated by GitHub.
If you specify it with the --access-token option or have it defined as a RIGHT_BRANCH_ACCESS_TOKEN envrionment variable, it will be used as you authentication method.
You can create access tokens through your GitHub Account Settings.
