Pull Request Messages
Reported by Alex Coles | March 14th, 2008 @ 11:26 AM
GitHub makes Git really easy for even those unfamiliar with the version control system (just as I was several weeks ago). In various places the GitHub UI gives the user the commands they need to directly copy and paste into Terminal. Examples include the lightbox window that pops up when you click "Push URL" for projects to which you have write access.
So it seems somewhat inconsistent that pull requests aren't simplified in the same way: can pull request messages include
1) either the customized code, ready to copy and paste, e.g.:
$ git remote add defunkt git://github.com/defunkt/grit.git
$ git checkout -b defunkt/master
$ git pull defunkt master:4f0ea0c
OR
2) at the very least, provide a direct link to the wiki/guide page:
http://github.com/guides/pull-re...
(or you could even have both)

I would think this is a pretty quick addition (as it just involves some changes in the view). I have gotten pretty used to handling pull requests now that I've gotten more familiar with Git, but I think some hand-holding we still be excellent for newbies who've just set up their repos.
