Why?

Creating a PR in GitLab UI takes so much time. You need to click a button, select options like 'Squash', 'Remove source branch when merged'. You need to select minimal approvers count. You need to select approvers. You should set approvers as assignee to give them email about your PR.

It is a pure nightmare. Just run prman in your repo directory. Type approvers like david_99; fisher_20; peyton (search by substring, multiple items divided by ;). It pushes your branch to the origin automatically. A Pull Request is done!

How to install it?

• Install pipx. It is like a pip+venv for CLI apps. python3 -m pip install --user pipx.
• pipx install prman.
• Go to GitLab Access Tokens UI.
• Name: prman; Scopes: api; Create personal access token.
• prman config set gitlab.token YOUR_TOKEN (the config is stored in ~/.config/prman/config.json).
