Hello,
for working easier with the agit work-flow at codeberg/forgejo I created
a script. Maybe this is useful for others, too. So please find it attached.
Features:
* Checks whether you are on a "topic" branch already, otherwise
creates one
* If the topic was already pushed (and no pull-request created):
o Update the pull-request
* If the topic was net yet pushed (no pull-request created)
o tries to determine the base branch ("for"-branch in agit)
o asks for a title for the pull-request
o asks for a description for the pull-requests (not yet working
due to limitations of forgejo/codeberg)
Any improvements are welcome :-)
