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 fisher;choi. 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 (a config is stored in ~/.prman/config.json).

How to select approvers?

• You can type a substring of an item by a query like fisher.
• You can type multiple items separated by ; like in a query fisher;choi.
• You can select item by index with a query like 3.
• You can select an index range with a query like 3..5.
• Parts of a query can intersects like 2;1..3;fisher.
