A command-line tool for submitting and updating GitHub Pull Requests from local
Git commits that may be amended and rebased. Pull Requests can be stacked to
allow for a series of code reviews of interdependent code.
spr is pronounced /ˈsuːpəɹ/, like the English word 'super'.
## Documentation
Comprehensive documentation is available here: https://spacedentist.github.io/spr/
## Installation
### Binary Installation
#### Using Homebrew
```shell
brew install spr
```
#### Using Nix
spr is available in nixpkgs
```shell
nix run nixpkgs#spr
```
#### Using Cargo
If you have Cargo installed (the Rust build tool), you can install spr by running
```shell
cargo install spr
```
### Install from Source
spr is written in Rust. You need a Rust toolchain to build from source. See [rustup.rs](https://rustup.rs) for information on how to install Rust if you have not got a Rust toolchain on your system already.
With Rust all set up, clone this repository and run `cargo build --release`. The spr binary will be in the `target/release` directory.
## Quickstart
To use spr, run `spr init` inside a local checkout of a GitHub-backed git repository. You will be guided through authorising spr to use the GitHub API in order to create and merge pull requests.
To submit a commit for pull request, run `spr diff`.
If you want to make changes to the pull request, amend your local commit (and/or rebase it) and call `spr diff` again. When updating an existing pull request, spr will ask you for a short message to describe the update.
To squash-merge an open pull request, run `spr land`.
For more information on spr commands and options, run `spr help`. For more information on a specific spr command, run `spr help <COMMAND>` (e.g. `spr help diff`).
