.SH "NAME"
git-request-pull \- Generates a summary of pending changes
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
\fIgit request\-pull\fR [\-p] <start> <URL> [<end>]
.fi
.sp
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Generate a request asking your upstream project to pull changes into their tree\&. The request, printed to the standard output, begins with the branch description, summarizes the changes, and indicates from where they can be pulled\&.
.sp
The upstream project is expected to have the commit named by \fB<start>\fR and the output asks it to integrate the changes you made since that commit, up to the commit named by \fB<end>\fR, by visiting the repository named by \fB<URL>\fR\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-p
.RS 4
Include patch text in the output\&.
.RE
.PP
<start>
.RS 4
Commit to start at\&. This names a commit that is already in the upstream history\&.
.RE
.PP
<URL>
.RS 4
The repository URL to be pulled from\&.
.RE
.PP
<end>
.RS 4
Commit to end at (defaults to HEAD)\&. This names the commit at the tip of the history you are asking to be pulled\&.
.sp
When the repository named by
\fB<URL>\fR
has the commit at a tip of a ref that is different from the ref you have locally, you can use the
\fB<local>:<remote>\fR
syntax, to have its local name, a colon
\fB:\fR, and its remote name\&.
.RE
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.sp
Imagine that you built your work on your \fBmaster\fR branch on top of the \fBv1\&.0\fR release, and want it to be integrated into the project\&. First you push that change to your public repository for others to see:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
git push https://git\&.ko\&.xz/project master
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
Then, you run this command:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
git request\-pull v1\&.0 https://git\&.ko\&.xz/project master
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
which will produce a request to the upstream, summarizing the changes between the \fBv1\&.0\fR release and your \fBmaster\fR, to pull it from your public repository\&.
.sp
If you pushed your change to a branch whose name is different from the one you have locally, e\&.g\&.
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
git push https://git\&.ko\&.xz/project master:for\-linus
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
then you can ask that to be pulled with
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
git request\-pull v1\&.0 https://git\&.ko\&.xz/project master:for\-linus
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.SH "GIT"
.sp
