prs

✨ Overview

prs lets you stay updated on pull requests from your terminal.

🤔 Motivation

For my day job as a tech lead, I need to stay updated on several PRs, and my hope is that prs will let me do that faster than the Github web UI (or other tools for that matter).

💾 Installation

homebrew:

brew install dhth/tap/prs

go:

go install github.com/dhth/prs@latest

Or get the binaries directly from a release. Read more about verifying the authenticity of released artifacts here.

🔑 Authentication

You can have prs make authenticated calls to GitHub on your behalf in either of two ways:

• Have an authenticated instance of gh available (recommended).
• Provide a valid Github token via $GH_TOKEN.

⚡️ Usage

prs has two modes:

• Query mode (default): lets you search PRs based on a query you provide (based on github's search syntax)
• Repos mode: let you pick a repository from a predefined list

Query Mode

prs --query='type:pr repo:neovim/neovim state:open label:lua linked:issue'

# view open PRs where you're the author
prs -q 'type:pr author:@me state:open'

# view open PRs where a review has been requested from you
PRS_QUERY='type:pr user-review-requested:@me state:open' prs

# read query from prs' config file
prs

Repos Mode

prs --mode=repos --repos='dhth/prs,dhth/omm,dhth/hours'

PRS_REPOS='dhth/prs,dhth/omm,dhth/hours' prs --mode=repos

# read repos from prs' config file
prs -m repos

🛠️ Configuration

prs accepts configuration from any of the following:

• Command line flags (run prs -h for details)

• Environment variables (eg. PRS_QUERY)

• prs's config file, which looks like this:

  num: 20
  repos:
    - dhth/omm
    - dhth/hours
    - dhth/prs
    - neovim/neovim
    - junegunn/fzf
    - BurntSushi/ripgrep
    - charmbracelet/bubbletea
    - goreleaser/goreleaser
    - dandavison/delta
  query: 'type:pr repo:neovim/neovim state:open label:lua linked:issue'

For every configuration property, the order of priority is: flag >> environment variables >> config file, ie, flags take the highest priority.

🔐 Verifying release artifacts

In case you get the prs binary directly from a release, you may want to verify its authenticity. Checksums are applied to all released artifacts, and the resulting checksum file is signed using cosign.

Steps to verify (replace the version in the commands listed with the one you want):

1. Download the following files from the release:

   • prs_1.0.0_checksums.txt
   • prs_1.0.0_checksums.txt.pem
   • prs_1.0.0_checksums.txt.sig

2. Verify the signature:

   cosign verify-blob prs_1.0.0_checksums.txt \
       --certificate prs_1.0.0_checksums.txt.pem \
       --signature prs_1.0.0_checksums.txt.sig \
       --certificate-identity-regexp 'https://github\.com/dhth/prs/\.github/workflows/.+' \
       --certificate-oidc-issuer "https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com"

3. Download the compressed archive you want, and validate its checksum:

   curl -sSLO https://github.com/dhth/prs/releases/download/v1.0.0/prs_1.0.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
   sha256sum --ignore-missing -c prs_1.0.0_checksums.txt

4. If checksum validation goes through, uncompress the archive:

   tar -xzf prs_1.0.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
   ./prs
   # profit!
