I am using hub by github to create pull requests from command line. I even assign the pull request to a user using the command line. However, I don't understand how do I reassign a pull request that was already created via the command line to a different user.
The command I use to create a pull request is:
hub pull-request -b <org_name>:main -h <branch_name> -m "title of pull request" --assign <user_name>
If I use the same command to assign a different user then it returns an error saying that a pull request already exists. So any thoughts on how to do this?
You can use the gh pr edit from the github cli:
C:\Users\jesse>gh pr edit
--tile, --body, --reviewer, --assignee, --label, --project, or --milestone required when not running interactively
Usage: gh pr edit [<number> | <url> | <branch>] [flags]
Flags:
--add-assignee login Add assigned users by their login. Use "@me" to assign yourself.
--add-label name Add labels by name
--add-project name Add the pull request to projects by name
--add-reviewer login Add reviewers by their login.
-B, --base branch Change the base branch for this pull request
-b, --body string Set the new body.
-F, --body-file file Read body text from file (use "-" to read from standard input)
-m, --milestone name Edit the milestone the pull request belongs to by name
--remove-assignee login Remove assigned users by their login. Use "@me" to unassign yourself.
--remove-label name Remove labels by name
--remove-project name Remove the pull request from projects by name
--remove-reviewer login Remove reviewers by their login.
-t, --title string Set the new title.
Something like:
gh pr edit --add-assignee jessehouwing --remove-assignee otherguy
