                          [-wa WATCH_ALL]

Create Pull Requests, using GitHub API and a list of repositories.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f FILE, --file FILE  The file with the repositories informations
  -t TOKEN, --token TOKEN
                        GitHub token with `public_repos` access, or the path
                        to a file with the Github token in plain text. The
                        only contents the file can have is the token,
                        optionally with a trailing new line.
  -mr MAXIMUM_REPOSITORIES, --maximum-repositories MAXIMUM_REPOSITORIES
                        The maximum count of repositories/requests to process
                        per file.
  -c, --cancel-operation
                        If there is some batch operation running, cancel it as
                        soons as possible.
  -d, --dry-run         Do a rehearsal of a performance or procedure instead
                        of the real one i.e., do not create any pull requests,
                        but simulates/pretends to do so.
  -s, --synced-repositories
                        Reports which repositories not Synchronized with Pull
                        Requests. This also resets/skips any last session
                        saved due old throw/raised exceptions, because to
                        compute correctly the repositories list, it is
                        required to know all available repositories.
  -ei ENABLE_ISSUES, --enable-issues ENABLE_ISSUES
                        Enable the issue tracker on all repositories for the
                        given user.
  -as ADD_STARS, --add-stars ADD_STARS
                        Add a star on all repositories for the given user.
  -wa WATCH_ALL, --watch-all WATCH_ALL
                        Enable watch for all repositories on the given user.

For example:

$ githubpullrequests -f repositories_list.txt

Example of repositories_list.txt:

[Anything Unique like evandrocoan/SublimePackageDefault]
    url = https://github.com/evandrocoan/SublimePackageDefault
    upstream = https://github.com/evandroforks/SublimePackageDefault
    branches = upstream_branch_name->fork_branch_name,

You need to define the environment variable GITHUBPULLREQUESTS_TOKEN with the GitHub access token with public_repos permission, or pass the command line argument -t token to githubpullrequests.
