Create a git branch for every pull request your get on GitHub
Edit your .git/config file as follows:
[remote "origin"]
url = git@github.com:...
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
# add the following line
fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*
gh-resolved = base
This allows you to get the content of a git branch as follows:
git checkout pr/144
If you need to push modifications to the remote branch, you need to set the remote properly, and synchronise branches properly (confusing tbh):
git remote add jack git@github.com:jack/repository
After committing, you may push along the following lines. Be careful not to forget the : between the two branch names (been there 😱)
git push jack pr/144:name_of_the_remote_branch
