I'm naturally lazy and I like to be able to do things from the terminal as much as possible, so I came up with a small Powershell function to open a new pull requests in Azure Devops.
Feel free to adopt and adapt this to your own needs.
The code
Function Open-PullRequest([string]$targetRef="develop") {
if (-not (Get-Command git)) {
Write-Host 'Could not find git!' -ForegroundColor Red
return;
}
$branch = git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD --
$remote = git remote get-url origin
# This repo uses SSH
if ($remote.startsWith('git@ssh.'))
{
$remote = $remote.replace('git@ssh.dev.azure.com:v3/', '')
$remote = $remote.split('/')
$remote = "$($remote[0])/$($remote[1])/_git/$($remote[2])"
$url = "https://dev.azure.com/$remote/pullrequestcreate?sourceRef=$branch&targetRef=$targetRef"
# Open default browser
Start-Process $url
}
# This repo uses HTTPS
else {
$remote = $remote.split('@')
$remote = $remote[1]
$url = "https://$remote/pullrequestcreate?sourceRef=$branch&targetRef=$targetRef"
# Open default browser
Start-Process $url
}
}
Installation
Copy this function into your Powershell profile.
Usage
Open-PullRequest # Will open a new pull request from your current branch to develop
Open-PullRequest -targetRef REMOTE_BRANCH # Will open a new pull request from your current branch to whatever branch you choose
Caveat
I've only tested this with Powershell Core 6.2.4 on windows 10

tks, this helps me to create a function to open the PR page from the terminal, really handy! (just have to use
az repos pr list -s $branchto figure out the current id to build the url)
