I'm surprised Github et al. haven't tried to contribute some functionality for doing this to git. The thing described in the article is extremely common.

Goood, I'd really like to try it out. I'm tired of opening the browser go to my fork and create a branch to make a MR/PR for the project I'm working out.

I will really try it out. Thanks!

They have, sort of. https://hub.github.com

I use hub[0] to accomplish some of the same things. `hub fork` creates a fork and sets up a new remote. After pushing to my fork, `hub pull-request` creates a pull request.

Cool but 'repo' is a really hard name to search.

There's already a tool by this name and they have the same problem.

I really enjoy how the author broke down both the problem and the solution, explaining why the existing solutions are inadequate. I often see articles about new products or new programming languages, and their features, but they often forget to mention what problem prompted the solution. Why was a new language invented to solve this problem? Why were the existing solutions limiting?

Bravo to the author here for making all that information clear and up-front.

IMHO, hub works best if you

    alias git=hub

in your shellrc.

  then you watch the code, create a branch:
  git checkout -b `bugfix/nasty_one`

Please remove backticks from the command. What if you called the branch `poweroff` instead and a naive reader copy/pasted the command into her terminal?

This is wonderful. I'd guess that this little tiny bit of extra friction is enough of a disturbance to the workflow for private local/personal/work projects to prevent many from bothering to contribute back in some cases (I'm definitely guilty here).
