-= Pull requests with Git, the old school way
-:categories: git
-
-:empty:
-:cgit: https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/
-
-It might be news to you, as it was to me, that "pull requests" that you can
-create on a Git hosting provider’s web
-UI{empty}footnote:pr-webui[
- And maybe even using the Git hosting provider’s API from the command line!
-] like GitLab/Bitbucket/GitHub actually comes from Git itself:
-`git request-pull`.
-
-At the very core, they accomplish the same thing: both the original and the web
-UI ones are ways for you to request the project maintainers to pull in your
-changes from your fork. It’s like saying: "hi there, I did some changes on my
-clone of the repository, what do you think about bringing those in?".
-
-The only difference is that you’re working with only Git itself, so you’re not
-tied to any Git hosting provider: you can send pull requests across them
-transparently! You could even use your own {cgit}[cgit] installation. No need
-to be locked in by any of them, putting the "D" back in "DVCS": it’s a
-*distributed* version control system.
-
-== `git request-pull` introduction
-
-Here’s the raw output of a `git request-pull`:
-
-[source,sh]
-----
-$ git request-pull HEAD public-origin

-That very first line is saying: "create me a pull request with only a single
-commit, defined by `HEAD`, and use the URL defined by `public-origin`".
-
-Here’s a pitfall: you may try using your `origin` remote at first where I put
-`public-origin`, but that is many times pointing to something like
-`git@example.com`, or `git.example.com:repo.git` (check that with
-`git remote -v | grep origin`). On both cases those are addresses available for
-interaction via SSH, and it would be better if your pull requests used an
-address ready for public consumption.
-
-A simple solution for that is for you to add the `public-origin` alias as the
-HTTPS alternative to the SSH version:
-
-[source,sh]
-----
-$ git remote add public-origin https://example.com/user/repo
-----
-
-Every Git hosting provider exposes repositories via HTTPS.
-
-Experiment it yourself, and get acquainted with the CLI.
-
-== Delivering decentralized pull requests
-
-:cli-email: link:../04/cli-email-fun-profit.html
-
-Now that you can create the content of a pull request, you can just
-{cli-email}[deliver it] to the interested parties email:
-
-[source,sh]
-----
-# send a PR with your last commit to the author's email
-git request-pull HEAD public-origin | mail author@example.com -s "PR: Add thing to repo"
-
-# send a PR with your last 5 commits to the project's mailing
-# list, including the patch
-git request-pull -p HEAD~5 public-origin | \
- mail list@example.com -s "PR: Add another thing to repo"
-
-# send every commit that is new in "other-branch"
-git request-pull master public-origin other-branch | \
- mail list@example.com -s 'PR: All commits from my "other-brach"'

-== Conclusion
-
-:distgit: https://drewdevault.com/2018/07/23/Git-is-already-distributed.html
-
-In practice, I’ve never used or seen anyone use pull requests this way:
-everybody is just {distgit}[sending patches via email].
-
-If you stop to think about this model, the problem of "Git hosting providers
-becoming too centralized" is a non-issue, and "Git federation" proposals are a
-less attractive as they may sound initially.
-
-Using Git this way is not scary or so weird as the first impression may suggest.
-It is actually how Git was designed to be used.

-Check `git help request-pull` for more info.
