NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

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

EXAMPLES

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