Hi folks,
During the last weeks I merged a couple of pull requests into geany-plugins. During this work I found it a bit annoying not finding a easy way to pull the pull request directly and test it locally and maybe add it to me git repo. Is there any direct way on doing this instead of going to offerer's github page and clone the complete repo?
$ git remote add -f foo git://github.com/foo/geany-plugins.git $ git merge foo/master
Hi Frank,
When you get pull requests from lots of people adding each of them as a remote can be tedious.
Instead github docs suggest using the patch file as input to git am, see far down on the page on sending pull requests.
