github/hub

• Improve pull-request push target detection for git config push.default is "upstream", but when the current branch does not have upstream configuration

Fixes:

• hub pull-request: Avoid crash when the current branch is pushed to a non-GitHub remote

• BROWSER environment variable now supports values with spaces in them (must be shell-quoted)

• hub help: support man appearing in a path that has spaces

• Docs: mention that comma-separated lists must not have spaces

Features

• Add hub api --paginate option to automatically fetch all pages of results

• Add hub pr show [<number>] command to open a pull request in the browser

• Add hub pull-request --no-maintainer-edits flag to disallow project maintainers being able to push to your branch

• Abort hub pull-request with a helpful error message if the current branch wasn't pushed to a git remote

• hub issue -M now accepts milestone names instead of just numbers

• Drop support for legacy hub.http-clone git config value (this was broken for a while and nobody complained, so I deemed it safe to drop in a minor rather than a major release)

Fixes

• Fix querying git configuration when GIT_TRACE is used

• Support detached HEAD if hub pull-request --head was passed

• Fix newline in hub create error message

• Ensure HTTP connection reuse across API calls

• Avoid crash in hub remote argument parsing

• Fix hub -C mydir merge <URL> by propagating global git arguments to Before/After chains

• Preserve tilde ~ character in man pages

• Fix non-draft pull requests for certain repositories

• Create draft pull requests with hub pull-request --draft

  Draft pull requests are considered work in progress: they don't automatically request others for review and they are not mergeable while in their draft state.

• Fix compatibility with git when run with no arguments: hub --git-dir=.git

• Fix issue/PR --format %L output in no-color mode

• Fix writing over existing cache files in hub api

• Allow repository names that start with a - character

• List api among custom hub commands in help

Features

• New hub pr list --format fields %pS and %pC for PR state and color

  • %pS: "open", "draft", "merged", or "closed"
  • %pC: green, gray, purple, or red

• Have commands with rich output respect the --color flag

  • default: --color=auto
  • --color is equivalent to --color=always
  • --color=never disables color for TTYs

Fixes

• Make man pages parseable with whatis

• Make hub checkout work independently of remote refspec
