Git push account - for shared work

Post by Oleg »

One of the annoying aspects of github is that only the pull request's author can add commits to the pull request. This can be fixed by adding collaborators but 1) nobody does that with a singular exception that I know of and 2) it is still too much work.

Therefore, I created a p-push organization (https://github.com/p-push). I will add anyone requesting access to the phpbb team. From then on, you can create branches under p-push instead of, or in addition to, creating branches in your own repository, and send pull requests from p-push's repository. Any of the collaborators will be able to add commits to any open pull request.

You can reply here if you would like access or mail me at oleg@bsdpower.com.

This looks great, I am interested to see how well it works.

I always assumed you could add to pull requests by filing a pull request on the contributor's feature branch, and when merged it would show up, do you know if it works this way?

This can indeed be very helpful.

That's a good idea for patches that will likely require a lot of collaboration. If you don't mind adding me as a collaborator, I may consider moving my branch for this over to it.

Yeah, that's what we've done in the past: https://github.com/igorw/phpbb3/pull/9

Just as an idea form another open source project and there chat:
{20:38:43} [@DGandalf] kylef: btw, how did you attach commits to someone else's pull request (who even doesn't have any commit there)?
{20:39:37} [kylef] hub pull-request -i 138
{20:39:53} [kylef] there is no UI for it, but it's in the API
{20:41:15} [@DGandalf] "hub"?
{20:42:15} [kylef] https://github.com/defunkt/hub
this might also help to collaborate
