Export Pull Requests

Config

These can all be set by one of the below methods or via the command line.

Token

The API token can be set by:

• EPR_TOKEN environment variable
• epr.token setting in .gitconfig (add via git config --add epr.token <your API token>)
• github.oauth-token setting in .gitconfig

Default Service

github is the default. You can set a new default via EPR_SERVICE.

Examples

Export open PRs and issues in sshaw/git-link and sshaw/itunes_store_transporter:

epr sshaw/git-link sshaw/itunes_store_transporter > pr.csv

Export open pull request not created by sshaw in padrino/padrino-framework:

epr -x pr -c '!sshaw' padrino/padrino-framework > pr.csv

Export open merge requests from a GitLab project:

epr -x pr -p gitlab gitlab-org/gitlab-ce > pr.csv

Export all issues from a GitLab project:

epr -x issues -p gitlab gitlab-org/gitlab-ce > pr.csv

Service Notes

To connect to a custom/"Enterprise" installation of any of the supported services use the endpoint option (-e).

The provided URL must point the API endpoint, not the user-facing site. For GitHub this is http(s)://YOUR-SITE/api/v3.

Bitbucket

Due to various issues with the Bitbucket gem support for Bitbucket requires using a Ruby version < 3 and manually installing the Bitbucket library via gem install bitbucket_rest_api.

Alternatively, on a Ruby version < 3 you can run: gem install export-pull-requests -v=0.3.7

You can use app passwords for the API token. Just provide your token info in bitbucket_username:app_password format:

epr -p bitbucket -t bitbucket_username:app_password user/repo1

GitLab

Authentication can be done via a personal access token.

Enterprise editions of GitLab have an issue export feature.
