Can you issue pull requests from the command line on GitHub?

Question

It seems like you have to interact with github.com to initiate a pull request. Is this so?

Answer 1

I've created a tool recently that does exactly what you want:

https://github.com/jd/git-pull-request

It automates everything in a single command, forking the repo, pushing the PR etc. It also supports updating the PR if you need to edit/fix it!
