### Checking out Pull Requests ### Checking out Pull Requests
If you want to check out pull request locally, you can fetch it using that command:
Pull Requests are special branches on the GitHub repository which can be retrieved locally in several ways:
Retrieve a specific Pull Request and store it temporarily in `FETCH_HEAD` for quickly `diff`ing or `merge`ing:
```bash ```bash
$ git fetch origin '+refs/pull/*/head:refs/pull/*' git fetch origin refs/pull/[PR-Number]
``` ```
then, checkout Pull Request (i.e. 42) using Acquire all Pull Request branches as local remote branches by refspec:
```bash
$ git checkout refs/pull/42
```
Alternatively, you can fetch them as remote branches:
```bash ```bash
$ git fetch origin '+refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*' $ git fetch origin '+refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*'
``` ```
and checkout as: Or setup the remote to fetch Pull Requests automatically by adding these corresponding lines in your repository's `.git/config`:
```bash
$ git checkout origin/pr/42

For Fork-based Pull Request contributions, it's useful to `checkout` a remote branch representing the Pull Request and create a local branch from it:
```bash
$ git checkout pr/42 pr-42
```
