git-request-pull:tldr:aa210

git-request-pull: Produce a request summarizing the changes between the v1.1 release and a specified branch.
$ git request-pull ${v1-1} ${https:--example-com-project} ${branch_name}
try on your machine

The command git request-pull is used to generate a summary of changes in a branch that can be sent as a pull request to another repository.

Here's a breakdown of the command you provided:

  • git request-pull: This is the main command to initiate the request-pull process.
  • ${v1-1}: This is a variable placeholder (in shell) that represents the starting commit or branch that contains the changes you want to request to be pulled. It is usually replaced with a commit hash or branch name.
  • ${https:--example-com-project}: This is another variable placeholder that represents the URL of the repository where you want to request the pull. It is usually replaced with the actual repository URL.
  • ${branch_name}: This placeholder represents the branch name containing the changes you want to request to be pulled. It is typically replaced with the specific branch name.

In order to use this command correctly, you need to replace the variable placeholders with the appropriate values based on your situation. For example, you might use a commit hash instead of ${v1-1}, the actual repository URL instead of ${https:--example-com-project}, and the name of your branch instead of ${branch_name}.

The git request-pull command will then generate a summary of the changes introduced by your branch, which can be sent as a pull request to the repository specified by the URL.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
