NAME

6       git-request-pull - Generates a summary of pending changes
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git request-pull [-p] <start> <url> [<end>]
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Generate a request asking your upstream project to pull changes into
14       their tree. The request, printed to the standard output, begins with
15       the branch description, summarizes the changes and indicates from where
16       they can be pulled.
17
18       The upstream project is expected to have the commit named by <start>
19       and the output asks it to integrate the changes you made since that
20       commit, up to the commit named by <end>, by visiting the repository
21       named by <url>.
22

OPTIONS

24       -p
25           Include patch text in the output.
26
27       <start>
28           Commit to start at. This names a commit that is already in the
29           upstream history.
30
31       <url>
32           The repository URL to be pulled from.
33
34       <end>
35           Commit to end at (defaults to HEAD). This names the commit at the
36           tip of the history you are asking to be pulled.
37
38           When the repository named by <url> has the commit at a tip of a ref
39           that is different from the ref you have locally, you can use the
40           <local>:<remote> syntax, to have its local name, a colon :, and its
41           remote name.
42

EXAMPLES

44       Imagine that you built your work on your master branch on top of the
45       v1.0 release, and want it to be integrated to the project. First you
46       push that change to your public repository for others to see:
47
48           git push https://git.ko.xz/project master
49
50       Then, you run this command:
51
52           git request-pull v1.0 https://git.ko.xz/project master
53
54       which will produce a request to the upstream, summarizing the changes
55       between the v1.0 release and your master, to pull it from your public
56       repository.
57
58       If you pushed your change to a branch whose name is different from the
59       one you have locally, e.g.
60
61           git push https://git.ko.xz/project master:for-linus
62
63       then you can ask that to be pulled with
64
65           git request-pull v1.0 https://git.ko.xz/project master:for-linus
